Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is racking up another major conservative victory — this time stopping a New York-based company from selling controversial “chest binders” to young girls in Texas.
The legal win comes as Paxton campaigns for the Republican nomination to challenge incumbent RINO John Cornyn in Texas’s looming U.S. Senate primary, further cementing Paxton’s reputation among conservatives as one of the country’s most aggressive defenders of children and parental rights.
A Texas court has granted Paxton’s office a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against Lola Olivia, Inc., a New York City–based online retailer accused of marketing chest binders to Texas minors while downplaying serious health risks.
The order immediately blocks the company from selling or shipping chest binders anywhere in Texas.
Paxton originally filed the lawsuit in February, accusing the company of exposing young girls to significant and potentially permanent health damage while promoting the products as “safe and effective.”
“Radical companies pushing gender ideology should not be targeting children in Texas,” Paxton said after the ruling. “I will never allow corporations like Lola Olivia to abuse Texas kids by ‘transitioning’ them.”
According to the Texas Attorney General’s office, medical research shows chest binding — the practice of tightly compressing breast tissue — has been linked to at least 28 different medical conditions.
Those risks include permanent breast damage, severe back and chest pain, shortness of breath, rib fractures, compromised lung function and potential complications with breastfeeding later in life.
Paxton’s lawsuit argues that Lola Olivia sold the devices to minors without properly warning them about these risks, while actively marketing the products to girls questioning their gender identity.
For many conservatives, the case highlights a growing concern: corporations pushing controversial gender products to minors while sidestepping parental consent and medical safeguards.
Paxton framed the legal action as part of a broader fight to protect children from what he called a “dangerous and radical agenda.”
“My office will continue to protect Texas children against sick corporations willing to harm kids for profit,” Paxton said.
The case now moves to the next stage. A hearing scheduled for March 13 in Scurry County, Texas will determine whether the restraining order should remain in effect while the lawsuit proceeds.
The ruling adds momentum to Paxton’s rising political profile as he seeks to unseat Cornyn, one of the biggest Trump backstabbers in the U.S. Senate, in what is shaping up to be one of the most closely watched Republican primaries in the country.
For grassroots conservatives frustrated with establishment Republicans, the message from Paxton’s office is simple: he’s already fighting the battles many voters want Washington to take on next.
