A baby was born in North Texas following a multi-state legal dispute concerning surrogacy and medical care. The infant, who has a heart defect, was delivered after a Texas court intervened in the case.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton was involved in the proceedings, which ultimately saw a Texas court order that the baby receive life-saving treatment. The intended parents are a couple from California.
The birth in Texas concludes a contentious legal fight over the baby's care. The court's decision mandated treatment for the infant's heart condition. This is a developing story and will be updated as details emerge.
