Tex. Rev. Civ. Stat. art. 4512.2 · Chapter 6-1/2. ABORTION
FURNISHING THE MEANS.
Text — Current through the 89th 2nd Called Legislative Session, 2025
The following article was held to have been impliedly repealed in McCorvey v. Hill, 385 F.3d 846 (5th Cir. 2004).
In Section 2, Chapter 62 (S.B. 8), and Section 4, Chapter 800 (H.B. 1280), Acts of the 87th Legislature, Regular Session, 2021, the legislature finds that the state statutes enacted before the ruling in Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113 (1973), that prohibit and criminalize abortion unless the mother's life is in danger, have not been repealed by the legislature, either expressly or by implication.
Whoever furnishes the means for procuring an abortion knowing the purpose intended is guilty as an accomplice.
