The organization, which argued that the order violates its First Amendment right to speak anonymously, will appeal.
Siding with efforts to discover who is behind mailers offering support for transgender youths, a Travis County judge ordered those behind the pamphlets to answer questions under oath later this week.
Travis County District Judge Jan Soifer late Tuesday ordered depositions to be taken from a representative of the Texas Transgender Student Union, which was registered last month in Wyoming and has a mailing address linked to a post office box in Houston.
The Transgender Education Network of Texas, known as TENT, requested the deposition, saying the mailers were worded to appear to come from TENT, prompting a backlash that included threats of violence.
TENT also is seeking to identify the sender of text messages that linked to TENT’s website but did not come from the organization.
