How we check every guide, and what we won’t list: How We Choose
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. We checked the clinics on October 13 and the law on October 18, 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.
Adults with insurance have one 2025 law to know. Senate Bill 1257 says a health plan that covers gender transition care must also cover side effects of that care, follow-up testing at least once a year, and treatment to manage or reverse it. The rule applies to plans issued or renewed on or after January 1, 2026, according to the Texas Legislature’s record of SB 1257 and the bill’s text. It doesn’t require a plan to cover transition care in the first place.
Two other 2025 laws, one defining sex in state law and one on restrooms in government buildings, are on our page about whether Austin is gay friendly.
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
The business states
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
The business states
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.
- Where: 201 E Ben White Blvd, Building B, Austin 78704
- Phone: 512-351-4660

OutWellness
The business states
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

- 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?
- If I have insurance, does my plan cover hormone therapy, and what does it say about follow-up care?
Support for Trans Texans
- Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) calls itself the state’s largest trans-led policy, education, and advocacy organization. Its old resources page is gone (it returned a 404 on October 17, 2026), so start at TENT’s home page
- 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

- For hair removal and voice training, our guides to electrolysis and laser hair removal in Austin and gender-affirming voice training in Austin list providers who say they work with trans clients, and what we found in Texas license records.
- For massage, our guide to LGBTQ+ and trans-affirming massage therapists in Austin lists licensed therapists who say they work with trans clients.
- For hormone therapy as an adult, our guide to where adults get HRT in Austin lists informed-consent clinics and prescribers, each checked against Texas license records.
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. For state law we read SB 14, SB 1257 and the Texas Supreme Court’s record. We didn’t follow other court cases, so check Texas Legislature Online for anything passed since.

How We Check
We check every business and group we name against what it publishes about itself: its own site, its booking page, or its state license. No business pays to be in a guide, and we don’t earn a commission when you book.
The full method is on How We Choose. If something here is wrong or out of date, send a correction.
