A Texas judge considered a custody dispute between a California couple and their surrogate over a newborn with a severe heart defect in Dallas on August 25, 2026. PBS reported that anti-abortion groups said the case could shape future surrogacy and IVF regulations.

Fox News reported that the infant was re-intubated after complications from surgery and that the judge weighed the surrogate’s petition for exclusive medical decision-making authority. AP reported that the couple and surrogate testified before the judge, who kept a restraining order in place as the dispute continued.
