Texas Children's Story Studio News & Releases

Texas Children’s Hospital’s providers previously performed sex-rejecting procedures, as defined in the Settlement Agreement between Texas Children’s Hospital, the State of Texas, and the United States, effective as of July 27, 2026, on both minor and adult patients. Texas Children’s Hospital’s providers and Texas Children’s Hospitals’ affiliated entities have permanently and irrevocably ceased the provision, directly or indirectly, of any sex-rejecting procedures, absent a change in the law requiring TCH to provide such procedures. As provided in the Settlement Agreement, Texas Children’s Hospital has removed prior media statements related to its providers’ provision of sex-rejecting procedures and masking conduct, including the media statement posted by Texas Children’s Hospital on May 15, 2026, related to this Agreement and the government investigation. This public statement supersedes these prior media statements on these matters.
