A Texas Supreme Court ruled Friday that the state could continue to resume investigating parents for child abuse if they facilitate “gender-affirming” treatment for transgender children.

A lower court judge reimplemented a temporary injunction in March, blocking Texas child abuse investigations of the families of transgender children. That prompted the state to file its case with its Supreme Court.
