New Texas Law which went into effect January 1, 2004, made major changes in the way abortions are now performed in Texas. All women seeking an abortion in Texas must be provided with certain information at least 24 hours before they can have an abortion performed. We have attempted to make this requirement simple for you to fulfill by providing you with a telephone number where you can call and hear a recording of our physician providing you with the information that is necessary.

The telephone number to access the recording which
can be heard 24 hours a day is:


Houston Recording
713-774-0256 or 1-800-390-0981

Dallas Recording
214-890-0252 or 1-800-390-1042


In addition to listening to the recording you are required by the Texas Department of Health to view the following written statement.

You have the right to access certain information concerning this abortion facility by using the toll-free number 1-888-973-0022. If you make a call to the number, your identity will remain anonymous. The toll-free telephone line can provide you with the following information: whether this abortion facility is licensed by the Texas Department of the Health; the date of the last inspection of this facility by the Texas Department of Health and any violations of law or rules discovered during that inspection that may pose a health risk to you, any relevant fine, penalty, or judgment rendered against this facility or a doctor who provides services at this facility. You have the right to call the toll free number listed if this facility did not inform you at the time of your initial consultation that you have the right to view the Texas Department of Health's "A Woman's Right to Know" Booklet and Resource Directory if your choose. You can register complaints against this facility to Department of Health, 1100 West 49th Street, Austin, Texas 78756. Complaints must be registered with the department in writing. A complainant must provide his/her name. All complaints shall be confidential.

The other changes to Texas Law effects minors and women seeking abortion over 15 weeks into a pregnancy. Minors seeking abortion must have parental consent. If you are unable to obtain permission from a parent, there is an agency that can possibly assist you. Jane's Due Process is an organization that works for fair and equal access for Texas minors seeking abortion services.

They can be reached toll free at
1(866) WWW-JANE or contacted on the internet at www.janesdueprocess.org.

Abortions over 15 weeks can no longer be performed in a physician's office or abortion facility, they must be performed in an Ambulatory Surgical Center or hospital. We are the only facility in Houston and Southeast Texas with a Ambulatory Surgical Center enabling us to perform procedures up to 25 weeks.

Remember the changes that effect women seeking abortions have been passed by our law makers.
It is important that women register to vote and support pro-choice candidates.
