The Texas Tribune reports:

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office announced Friday it has notified Austin ISD of a citizen complaint via a state tip line alleging a violation of Senate Bill 8, also known as the Women’s Privacy Act or the “bathroom bill.” In his statement, Paxton said Austin ISD and Austin High School were aware that a student used a restroom that was not consistent with their sex at birth. The state policy, which went into effect in December, limits transgender people’s use of public bathrooms in government buildings.

The announcement comes after conservative group Texas Values put out a statement Feb. 17 linking to a complaint filed to the state by the parent of an Austin High School student. Austin ISD was advised it will incur a $5,000 penalty per day that the violation continues, Paxton’s office said. The amount differs from penalties outlined in SB 8, which state a $25,000 fee for a first time violation and $125,000 for subsequent violations. The notice was sent as a statutory prerequisite for Paxton’s office to file a lawsuit.
