Dallas Fort Worth, TX, August 6, 2026 —
Texas Children’s Hospital has reached a settlement with the state of Texas that requires the establishment of a new clinic in Houston. The clinic, to be designated as a “detransition clinic,” is mandated to open its doors within 90 days as part of the agreement.
Details regarding the specific terms of the settlement beyond the requirement to open the clinic were not immediately available.

The establishment of this clinic marks a significant development in the evolving landscape of healthcare services for transgender individuals, particularly within Texas. The full scope of services, operational procedures, and patient eligibility criteria for the new detransition clinic have not yet been detailed.
Further information regarding the timeline for the clinic’s opening and its operational framework is expected to be released as the 90-day period progresses.
