articleThe Brief A Texas appeals court overturned an injunction that temporarily shut down Houston-area midwife Maria Rojas’ clinics.
A Texas appeals court on Thursday said Attorney General Ken Paxton's office had not provided enough evidence to warrant an injunction against a Houston-area midwife accused of providing illegal abortions.
The 15th Court of Appeals said the state did not provide "sufficient evidence" to the trial court for it to issue a temporary injunction and temporarily shut down Maria Rojas' clinics.
"Consequently, because the trial court abused its discretion in granting temporary injunctive relief, we reverse the trial court’s temporary-injunction order and remand to the trial court for further proceedings."
What's next:The Center for Reproductive Rights, who represents Rojas, said even with the injunction it's unlikely that Rojas' clinics will be able to reopen.
