Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is seeking more than $1 million in a civil lawsuit against a pediatric hospital and a Dallas doctor accused of transitioning gender dysphoric children and fraudulently billing taxpayers.

Paxton announced the health care fraud lawsuit on Feb. 18 against Children’s Health System of Texas, the country’s seventh-largest pediatric hospital, and Jason Jarin, a division director of Children’s Health, who saw patients for gender interventions in Dallas and Plano. The suit was filed in the District Court of Collins County, Texas.
