DALLAS, Texas–Lawyer General Ken Paxton is intensifying his investigation into the policies of several North Texas school districts regarding the participation of transgender student athletes in school sports.
Paxton has requested documentation from multiple school districts in the region to better understand how these districts establish their policies for transgender athletes.
The aim is to ensure that the districts’ practices comply with Texas state laws and regulations, particularly as they pertain to the participation of transgender students in sports.
While officials from Paxton’s office have not disclosed specific concerns or possible findings, the request for these documents signals a focused inquiry into the alignment of school district policies with the state’s legislative stance.
The attorney general has asked the districts to provide detailed records about their procedures for allowing or disallowing transgender students to compete on sports teams that correspond with their gender identity.
This includes any communication between school officials, parents, students, and staff about these policies, along with any recent changes to the guidelines.
The school districts involved have indicated they will cooperate with the investigation.
District officials have stated that they will review their policies to ensure they are in compliance with state laws and address any concerns raised by the inquiry.
