Seattle Children’s Hospital has filed a lawsuit against the Texas Attorney General’s Office for what it called “sham requests” to provide information regarding patients who received gender transitioning treatment and procedures.

The hospital was served a civil investigative demand on Nov. 20, alleging possible violations of the Deceptive Trade Practices Act (DTPA) for issues related to “misrepresentation regarding gender transitioning and reassignment treatments and procedures.”
