Medication abortion and Texas law
Medication abortion (mifepristone + misoprostol) is the most common abortion method in the US and is typically used early in pregnancy. Whether it can be prescribed via telehealth and mailed to Texas depends on state law (near-total ban) and on shield-law providers operating from protected states. Plan C maintains the most current state-by-state picture, and Aid Access serves all 50 states with clinician support. If cost is a barrier, frontierabortionsupport.org can help.
Texas's legal status, in practice
