The Department of Justice, which represents the federal government in court, did not immediately respond to a request for comment on whether it will appeal, as it did in the Tennessee case.marked a major victory for Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who has heightened his focus on restricting LGBT rights in recent years, framing the issue as being primarily about health and safety.
“Once again, criminally-indicted Ken Paxton is focusing on political grandstanding and litigating extremist, harmful policies that hurt some of the most vulnerable in Texas," Garza said in a statement, referring to Paxton's still-unresolved securities fraud indictment from 2015."Paxton should be in trial answering for his crimes instead of putting trans Texans at risk. As attorney general, I will work to protect every Texan.
