In 2 big cases, Texas courts defer to the legislature.

1. "Texas Court Halts Abuse Inquiries Into Parents of Transgender Children/A judge said the governor’s order to consider medically accepted treatments for transgender youth as abuse had been improperly adopted and violated the State Constitution" (NYT). 

[Gov.] Abbott’s order... directed state officials to consider medically accepted treatments for transgender youth — including hormones and puberty-suppressing drugs — as abuse.... [Judge Amy Clark Meachum in Travis County held that to] “violate separation of powers by impermissibly encroaching into the legislative domain.”

2. "Texas Supreme Court Shuts Down Final Challenge to Abortion Law/The ruling says state officials have no authority to enforce the law, which empowers private citizens: 'We cannot rewrite the statute'" (NYT).

“The act’s emphatic, unambiguous and repeated provisions” declare that a private civil action is the “exclusive” method for enforcing the law, the justices wrote.
