He criticized the state Supreme Court ruling that rights must be granted case by case and said he will continue restoring rights, with letters mailed to eligible individuals and voter-registration applications included.

Texas judge blocks Obama transgender bathroom rule nationwide
A federal judge in Texas blocked the Obama administration's order requiring public schools to let transgender students use bathrooms and locker rooms matching their gender identity.

The decision does not bar schools from permitting transgender use where already practiced.
