# Texas Supreme Court blocks deposition in mailer case > Developing situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/texas-transgender-rights-mailer-investigation > Updated: 2026-10-31T13:18:56.000Z. Sources: 22. Developments: 5. A Texas district attorney is investigating political mailers sent to over 1 million Texas households to determine if they constitute forgery. The pamphlets, sent under the name “Texas Transgender Student Union,” provided information on transgender student rights, medical care, and emancipation. While the materials used a Houston-area post office box and claimed affiliation with Texas advocacy groups, state records indicated the organization was registered as a limited liability company in Wyoming. The Transgender Education Network of Texas (TENT) reported that the campaign used its logo, branding, and event photographs without authorization, and featured a return address nearly identical to TENT’s actual address. TENT stated the campaign caused the organization to face death threats and reputational harm. Investigations have linked the bulk mail to Three Z Printing, an Illinois-based company owned by Bill Zerrusen. Legal proceedings have also expanded to include unsolicited text messages. A deposition from the wireless service provider InfoBip indicated these messages were sent on behalf of the Republican Women Caucus Fund and an individual named John Braun, though a spokesperson for the fund has denied any involvement. In a recent development, the Texas Supreme Court issued a stay to block a deposition intended to identify the group behind the mailers and text messages. While a Travis County judge had previously ordered representatives of the union to answer questions under oath, the state’s highest court intervened to pause proceedings. This decision means the identities of those behind the campaign may not be revealed until after the 2026 midterm elections. ## Timeline ### 2026-10-31: Texas Supreme Court blocks deposition regarding transgender mailer investigation The Texas Supreme Court blocked a deposition aimed at identifying the group behind mysterious transgender-themed mailers sent to over one million Texas households. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/texas-supreme-court-blocks-deposition-regarding-transgender-mailer-investigation ### 2026-10-29: Texas Supreme Court blocks deposition in transgender mailer case The Texas Supreme Court has paused a legal effort to identify the group behind controversial mailers and texts regarding transgender youth resources that falsely used the name of a local advocacy group. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/texas-judge-allows-depositions-in-transgender-group-impersonation-case ### 2026-10-28: Texas nonprofit seeks to identify sender of impersonated LGBTQ+ mailers A Texas judge has authorized the Transgender Education Network of Texas to subpoena an LLC to identify the sender of deceptive LGBTQ+ resource mailers that impersonated the nonprofit. 4 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/texas-nonprofit-seeks-to-identify-sender-of-impersonated-lgbtq-mailers ### 2026-10-26: Texas deceptive transgender advocacy mailers linked to Illinois printer Deceptive mailers sent to 1 million Texas households claiming to be from a transgender advocacy group have been linked to an Illinois printing company owned by major Republican donors. 8 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/texas-deceptive-transgender-advocacy-mailers-linked-to-illinois-printer ### 2026-10-23: Texas District Attorney investigates controversial transgender rights mailers A Texas district attorney is investigating mailers from a purported transgender rights group as potential forgeries, following links to a recently formed Wyoming-based company. 3 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/texas-district-attorney-investigates-controversial-transgender-rights-mailers --- Cite as: Texas Supreme Court blocks deposition in mailer case.
