A Texas doctor is being accused of providing “gender transition” hormones to minors in violation of state laws that ban transgender medical procedures for youth.
Dr. May Lau is facing a lawsuit for “blatantly violating Texas law” for allegedly giving hormone treatments to nearly two dozen minors, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office announced.
“Texas passed a law to protect children from these dangerous unscientific medical interventions that have irreversible and damaging effects,” Paxton said in a statement. “Doctors who continue to provide these harmful ‘gender transition’ drugs and treatments will be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.”

A Texas law that took effect in September 2023 “prohibits ‘gender transition’ medical interventions such as surgeries, puberty blockers, and cross-sex hormones for minors,” the AG’s press release states.
The Texas Medical Board is authorized to “revoke the medical license or other authorization to practice medicine of a physician who violates” Senate Bill 14.
“Evidence obtained by the Office of the Attorney General revealed that a Dallas-area doctor illegally provided high-dose cross-sex hormones to twenty-one minor patients for the direct purpose of ‘transitioning’ the child’s biological sex. The doctor allegedly used false diagnoses and billing codes to mask these unlawful prescriptions,” the press release noted.

“Today, enforcement begins against those who have violated the law by providing, prescribing, administering, or dispensing cross-sex hormones to minors for the purposes of transitioning their biological sex or affirming the child’s belief that their gender identity is inconsistent with their biological sex,” the lawsuit states.
According to the 35-page filing, Lau, a professor at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas, “engaged in deceptive trade practices, including by misleading pharmacies, insurance providers, and/or patients by falsifying medical records, prescriptions, and billing records.”
The suit accused Lau of writing prescriptions before Sept. 1 “with orders to fill prescriptions after SB 14 took effect.”
According to KERA News:
Lau was associated with the now-defunct GENECIS clinic. Offered through a partnership between Children’s Medical Center Dallas and UT Southwestern, GENECIS was one of the only clinics in the Southwest to provide holistic gender-affirming care.
Founder Dr. Ximena Lopez closed the clinic in 2023 amid growing hostility towards transgender individuals – and as lawmakers prepared to pass SB 14.
Lau was referred to as a “scofflaw” and “radical gender activist” in the filing which said the doctor “must be held accountable.”
The state asked for a temporary injunction against Lau restricting the prescribing of testosterone and estrogen to minors for gender transition. Also to restrict writing prescriptions and billing for treatments related to gender transition “under false diagnoses, such as endocrine disorder.”
