A Texas court has mandated that a baby born with a heart defect to a surrogate must receive medical treatment. The infant was born in North Texas and is at the center of an ongoing multi-state legal controversy.
The legal dispute involves the surrogate, who previously sought court permission in Texas to obtain medical care for the child. Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has also intervened, calling for protection for both the surrogate and the child with the birth defect.
The state of Texas had asked a Dallas court to allow its intervention in the dispute concerning the child’s medical care. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
