SAN ANTONIO – There’s a mystery surrounding pamphlets showing up in the mail of Texas families.<\/p>\n
They allege to be from a transgender advocacy group; that group says — they didn’t send or create them.<\/p>\n
It’s still unclear who sent these pamphlets to Texas families \u2014 or the intent behind them.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
They’re stirring up a lot of controversy and questions about why they’re being sent and why now?<\/p>\n
“First I saw the very front of it, and then I’m like, what is this?,” One mother said. “So then when I turned it around, that’s where I was like, why is this coming to my child?”<\/p>\n
A ‘Texas Trans & LGBTQ+ Student Resource Guide’ showing up in mailboxes across Texas this week including Gabby Huizar’s.<\/p>\n
The mailers appear to come from a group called the Texas Transgender Student Union, a registered LLC started in Wyoming last month.<\/p>\n
“It was kind of… it’s strong,” Huizar said. “There’s very strong verbiage in here.”<\/p>\n
Each pamphlet is addressed to the students of the household; it provides advice for students who lack parental support, information about emancipation and options for out-of-state care.<\/p>\n
“I’m like — how did this even come addressed to me, to my house? Then I’m like, how do they even know I have a school-aged child,” Huizar questioned.<\/p>\n
It also lists organizations like the Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) for help getting started. That organization said the pamphlet didn’t come from them, and they never sent it.<\/p>\n
The mailers have a return address in Meadows Place, Texas — just southwest of Houston. Online, its address is listed as a UPS store.<\/p>\n
“It could be anybody,” Huizar said. “Anybody can do whatever they want, right? You can print whatever you want.”<\/p>\n
In this post to TENT’s website and social media, they say they’re aware of the physical mailers; adding:<\/p>\n
Text messages and mailers were not authored, authorized, approved, or distributed by tent and are not affiliated with our organization.<\/p>\n
Huizar tells us she had a feeling that something was off, especially in the midst of the midterm election season.<\/p>\n
“Do you believe that this might have been used to influence voters in any particular direction once they saw it?,” we asked.<\/p>\n
“Yes. I believe it does,” Huizar answered. “Either way, it could be, you know, the blue or the red, right? It can influence either way.”<\/p>\n
It’s still unclear who sent these pamphlets to Texas families \u2014 or the intent behind them. The Huizar family is encouraging people to be cautious about things that seem out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"SAN ANTONIO – There’s a mystery surrounding pamphlets showing up in the mail of Texas families.
