Harris County Attorney Christian Menefee is declining to participate in a new scheme...
that the state Department of Family and Protective Services “will enforce this ruling and investigate & refer for prosecution any such abuse.” He followed that with a letter to state agencies, directing them accordingly. The moves come days before Abbott and Paxton face Republican primary challegers on March 1.
That’s because gender-affirming care is still legal in Texas — even if some Republican officeholders feel that it shouldn’t be, and want to ban it by decree.a Democrat elected in 2020 A county attorney can’t direct DFPS investigations, his office explains, rather it’s up to the county attorney to pursue civil cases arising from the agency’s investigations. And Menefee, as county attorney, will choose not to prosecute such cases in the state’s most populous county.
The opinion issued by the attorney general is just that: an opinion. And Abbott, who served 12 years as attorney general prior to being elected governor in 2014, presumably knows the difference between an opinion and a “ruling,” as he termed this one in his tweet., even if he is our duly elected attorney general. To be sure, a court might come to the same conclusion Paxton did, in this case. As of yet, however, no court has done so., that elections have consequences.
