Section 504 Advocates Urge Action as Texas Joins Lawsuit Challenging Disability Protections.

BENBROOK, TX—Families and advocates are rallying in support of students with disabilities as Texas joins a 17-state lawsuit seeking to overturn Section 504 protections in healthcare and human services.

The lawsuit, Texas v. Becerra, challenges federal rules that safeguard individuals with disabilities from discrimination. If successful, thousands of students who rely on 504 plans for essential accommodations in schools could lose critical support.

📢 Take Action: Advocates are urging Texans to call or email Attorney General Ken Paxton and local representatives, demanding Texas withdraw from the lawsuit and protect disability rights.
