Texas Surrogacy Battle Over Sick Baby | Texas News

A Texas surrogacy drama unfolds as a baby boy born with a life-threatening heart condition becomes the center of a high-stakes legal battle between biological parents from California, a surrogate from Alaska, and the Texas Attorney General. The surrogate claims the parents demanded termination, which they deny — calling the dispute “political theater” as they focus on their child’s survival. A Dallas judge sided with the biological parents, denying the surrogate medical decision-making power and ordering the child remain in Texas for critical care. Despite Texas AG Ken Paxton backing the surrogate and alleging parental refusal of surgery, California court records already recognize the biological parents as legal guardians. With a key hearing set for August 25th, the case pits state laws against parental rights — all while a fragile newborn fights for his life.
