The state’s high court allowed the investigations to continue but said the Texas Department of Family Protective Services is not bound by Gov. Abbott and Attorney General Paxton’s orders.

Texas primary runoff day is May 24. The big race for both parties is for Texas attorney general. With a vulnerable Paxton on the November ballot, Democrats see this as a chance to win a key battle in the culture war.

The policy known as Title 42 is set to expire in late May but Paxton is asking for an immediate halt to the pending termination.

The Texas Attorney General is defending the governor’s decision to order the state’s child welfare agency to investigate parents, and health care professionals for providing certain gender-affirming medical treatments to transgender kids.

Attorney General Ken Paxton asserts that the company, which recently rebranded itself as Meta, violated state law when it captured users' facial features without proper consent.
