Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has settled a lawsuit with Seattle Children’s Hospital over “gender transition” treatments potentially given to children in Texas.

The Texas Office of the Attorney General announced on April 22 that the state had dropped its investigation into the Seattle, Washington-based children’s hospital after the institution agreed to voluntarily withdraw its business registration in Texas no later than April 26.
