Texas AG Targets Doctors Over Secretly Billing Taxpayers for Transgender Drugs for Kids

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is going on offense and this time, the fight is over what he calls a "radical, illegal scheme" to funnel transgender drugs to minors using taxpayer funds.

In a major development, Paxton announced new allegations this week in his expanding lawsuit against two doctors, May Lau and M. Brett Cooper, accusing them of healthcare fraud, falsifying records, and secretly billing the state for treatments designed to chemically transition children in direct defiance of Texas law.

“What these radicals were doing was evil,” Paxton declared. “This is cruel child abuse, and I will pursue every legal tool available to stop it and punish it.”

The lawsuit, originally filed in 2024, has now been expanded with two new claims under the Texas Health Care Program Fraud Prevention Act. Paxton’s office describes the case as a first-of-its-kind medical fraud suit, directly targeting doctors who prescribed cross-sex hormones to minors all while using Texas Medicaid to foot the bill.

Here’s what we now know:

• Dr. Brett Cooper, based in Dallas, allegedly prescribed testosterone to girls as young as 14, while masking the true nature of the treatments in billing records submitted to healthcare providers and insurance companies.

• The suit claims Cooper falsified medical records, diagnosis codes, and prescriptions to mislead Medicaid and pharmacies about the purpose of these drugs.

• Dr. May Lau also allegedly prescribed testosterone to teenage girls and estrogen to a male minor. She surrendered her medical license in October but continues to deny all wrongdoing.

• The state is seeking to recoup three times the billed amounts and impose additional civil penalties for each violation.

These allegations highlight the deeply disturbing lengths some in the medical field are willing to go to advance a dangerous ideology even if it means breaking the law and exploiting the taxpayers in the process.

While Lau’s legal team continues to call the charges “false in every material aspect,” the documents presented by Paxton’s office tell another story. One filled with altered records, misleading claims, and hundreds of thousands of dollars in taxpayer-funded drugs being funneled to teens for unapproved gender procedures.

Paxton is clear: Texas law bans transgender procedures for minors, and those who attempt to work around that law especially by defrauding the healthcare system will be held accountable.

This fight is bigger than two doctors. It’s about defending parental rights, biological truth, and the integrity of the state’s medical system. It’s about saying no to the radical agenda that seeks to push irreversible treatments on vulnerable children while sticking taxpayers with the bill.

And it’s about sending a message: Texas will not be complicit in the abuse of children disguised as "care."
