Abortion Facilities in Texas are regulated by the Texas Health and Human Services Commission. The Regulatory Services Division within HHSC is responsible for overseeing the licensing and compliance of Abortion Facilities as required by Texas Administrative Code, Title 25, Part 1, Chapter 139, Abortion Facility Reporting and Licensing Rules, §139.23 Application Procedures and Issuance of Licenses. The division conducts surveys during the initial licensing period to review facility and personnel records, policies and procedures, interview staff, and discuss final survey findings to ascertain compliance with Health and Safety Code and associated rules.
