Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton obtained a temporary injunction against Maria Margarita Rojas, closing the Houston-area clinics she managed. The clinics were investigated for performing illegal abortions and operating without proper licenses, as reported by the Office of the Attorney General.
According to the Office of the Attorney General, Paxton stated, “This network of clinics illegally aborted unborn children and practiced medicine without a license, intentionally deceiving and endangering the communities they claimed to serve.” He emphasized his commitment to enforcing state law, adding, “Life is sacred and I will always do everything in my power to protect the most vulnerable and uphold Texas law.” The injunction follows the arrest of Rojas last Monday in connection with the operations.
A Texas district court judge extended a temporary injunction preventing certain clinics from operating. The order follows a previous restraining order from Paxton's Healthcare Program Enforcement Division. Authorities arrested Rojas and two associates for allegedly employing unlicensed staff who misrepresented their credentials. The case remains ongoing, as stated by the Office of the Attorney General.
