El Paso, TX, October 21, 2026 —
False pamphlets that appeared to come from the Transgender Education Network of Texas were mailed to families across Texas, prompting backlash and confusion, according to the information provided about the mailers.
TENT has denied creating or distributing the materials. The organization said the pamphlets promote controversial content, including emancipation and bypassing parental consent, and that this content differs from its own resources.
An LLC with a name similar to the organization’s was recently formed in Wyoming. The available information does not establish who formed the LLC, whether it had any role in producing or sending the pamphlets, or whether it is connected to TENT.
Further details about the mailings were not provided. The number of families who received pamphlets, when they were sent, who produced them and what steps, if any, were taken in response are not specified. No statement from the LLC or other parties is included in the information available.
The known information therefore distinguishes TENT’s denial from the unresolved question of who was behind the mailers. The similarity between the LLC’s name and TENT’s name is noted, but by itself does not establish a relationship between them. The pamphlets’ distribution across the state and the reaction they generated are reported, while the scale and circumstances of the mailings remain unclear.
