Dallas Doctor Surrenders License After Texas AG Sues For Prescribing Gender Transition Drugs To Minors

Dr. May C. Lau surrendered her Texas medical license following a lawsuit filed by Attorney General Ken Paxton for allegedly illegally prescribing gender transition drugs to minors. Paxton stated Lau's license surrender is a victory, but the legal case against her continues. The lawsuit alleges Lau prescribed high-dose cross-sex hormones to 21 minors for gender transitioning, violating Senate Bill 14, which prohibits such procedures for minors. The law mandates license revocation for physicians who violate its provisions. Lau allegedly prescribed testosterone to female minors and falsified records to conceal the purpose of the prescriptions. Lau had previously entered a Rule 11 agreement, restricting her medical practice. The agreement specifically prohibits treatments aimed at transitioning a minor's biological sex. Paxton has brought similar charges against two other doctors for violating the same legislation. These other doctors, Granados and Cooper, have been subjected to legal restrictions. The charges and agreements highlight Texas's strict stance against gender transition treatments for minors.
