Gender-Affirming Care in Texas: What the Law Says and Where Adults in Austin Get It

Adults in Texas can get hormone therapy, and two Austin clinics say on their own sites that they provide it: Kind Clinic and Planned Parenthood’s South Austin Health Center. Both also offer virtual visits.

For anyone under 18, Texas law is different. Since September 1, 2023, Senate Bill 14 has barred these treatments for minors, and the Texas Supreme Court upheld it on June 28, 2024. Details and sources are below. This page isn’t legal or medical advice, and we checked everything on October 13, 2026.

What Texas Law Says

Senate Bill 14’s official caption says it relates to “prohibitions on the provision to certain children of procedures and treatments for gender transitioning, gender reassignment, or gender dysphoria and on the use of public money or public assistance to provide those procedures and treatments.” It was signed June 2, 2023, and took effect September 1, 2023, according to the Texas Legislature’s record of SB 14.

In State of Texas v. Loe, the Texas Supreme Court reversed and vacated a trial court’s temporary injunction against the law. The opinion was issued June 28, 2024, according to the court’s case record.

The Legislature meets in regular session every other year, and Texas Legislature Online is the official record of what passed. For questions about your own situation, ask a lawyer or one of the organizations below.

Kind Clinic

Kind Clinic lists “Gender-Affirming Care: HRT for trans and gender non-conforming adults” among its services, along with PrEP and HIV care. It’s run by Texas Health Action. Virtual appointments are available anywhere in Texas, so you don’t have to live near one of its clinics.

Planned Parenthood South Austin

Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas offers estrogen-based and testosterone hormone therapy to patients 18 and up, in person and by telehealth. It says it “follows an informed consent treatment model” and that patients “may be able to start hormone therapy at the first visit.” The first visit covers your medical history and lab work, with regular follow-up labs after that. Staff ask for your name and pronouns at check-in, along with your legal name.

The South Austin Health Center lists gender-affirming care by appointment. It’s open Monday 11 AM to 7 PM and Tuesday through Friday 9 AM to 5 PM. For uninsured patients, it says you may qualify for financial help, and you can ask about that at the same number.

OutWellness

OutWellness, which wrote the first version of this page, is a queer and trans-centered wellness center and gym in South Austin. It says its licensed physical therapists have “advanced training in orthopedics, manual therapy, and gender-affirming care,” including “pre-operative preparation or post-operative rehabilitation for a gender-affirming procedure.”

OutWellness also keeps a longer guide to gender-affirming care in Texas with more resources.

Before Your First Appointment

These are questions to ask the clinic. We didn’t call any of them.

  • Do you take my insurance, and what will labs and follow-up visits cost?
  • Do I need a letter from a therapist, or do you use informed consent?
  • Can I do the first visit by video, and how often will I need to come in for labs?
  • Which pharmacy do you send prescriptions to, and can I use my chosen name there?

Support for Trans Texans

  • Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) calls itself the state’s largest trans-led policy, education, and advocacy organization. Its resources page lists crisis lines and legal organizations. TENT resources
  • Trans Lifeline runs a peer support hotline “run by trans people for our trans and questioning peers,” at (877) 565-8860, Monday through Friday from noon to 8 PM Central. It says it doesn’t call 911 or police without your consent. Trans Lifeline hotline
  • Point of Pride mails free binders and gaffs to trans people who can’t afford or safely get one. Our guide to binders and gender-affirming clothing in Austin covers how to apply and which trans-owned makers sell them.

What We Couldn’t Check

We didn’t book or call any clinic, and we didn’t check insurance coverage, wait times, or prices. We couldn’t run a Texas license check on OutWellness’s physical therapists, because the state’s lookup is behind a captcha. We didn’t verify state laws beyond SB 14 for this update, so check Texas Legislature Online for anything passed since.

Last checked: October 2026. Law from Texas Legislature Online and the Texas Judicial Branch, clinic details from each clinic’s own website, all read October 13, 2026. See a mistake? Use our contact page.
