Dallas Doctor Surrenders Texas License as Paxton Pursues First SB 14 Case

Her attorney says she relocated to Oregon, denying Paxton’s allegations.

WASHINGTON, DC - MARCH 20: Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton attends the executive order signing ceremony to reduce the size and scope of the Education Department in the East Room of the White House on March 20, 2025 in Washington, DC. The order instructs Education Secretary Linda McMahon, former head of the Small Business Administration and co-founder of the World Wrestling Entertainment, to shrink the $100 billion department, which cannot be dissolved without Congressional approval.

Overview

  • Texas Medical Board records show Dr. May Lau requested cancellation of her physician license earlier this month.
  • Attorney General Ken Paxton sued Lau in October 2024 under SB 14, alleging she prescribed testosterone to at least 21 minors and falsified records, and he sought about $1 million in penalties and costs.
  • Lau previously agreed to a Rule 11 order that barred her from treating patients and from prescribing cross‑sex hormones to minors while the case proceeds.
  • Paxton’s office called the license surrender a victory and said the civil case remains active, while Lau maintains the court lacks jurisdiction and that the venue is improper.
  • Parallel SB 14 actions have had mixed outcomes: the state dropped its suit against El Paso endocrinologist Hector Granados, and a case against Dallas pediatrician Brett Cooper is set for a May trial as his lawyers accuse Paxton of tainting the jury pool.
