Texas Induced Terminations of Pregnancy Statistics

The Health and Human Services Commission (HHSC) provides statistical tables on induced terminations of pregnancy (ITOP). Physicians in Texas must complete and submit a report for each ITOP they perform per Health and Safety Code, Chapter 245.

The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) reported data on ITOP until those duties were transferred to HHSC on June 1, 2018. HHSC started preparing statistical tables with the 2016 data, which was the most current data when the transfer occurred.

Year-to-date data from abortions performed on or after Sept. 1, 2021, became available on the HHSC website beginning February 2022. The data reflects the added reporting requirements set by Health and Safety Code Section 245.011. The data show whether the procedure was performed or induced because of a medical emergency or to preserve the health of the pregnant woman.

Health and Safety Code Section 171.006 sets the list of events that must be reported as an abortion complication and applies to procedures performed or induced on or after Dec. 2, 2021. HHSC began providing online data regarding the new complications in May 2022.

For questions about these tables and the processing of ITOP reports, email the HHSC Office of Data, Analytics and Performance.

For additional information not available on the HHSC website, email HHSC Open Records. If you use assistive technology, such as a screen reader, but are unable to read the information in these reports, email Open Records to request an alternate format.

Note: Due to a reduction in time needed to review procedures reported, ITOP statistics for February 2025, March 2025 and April 2025 will be provided in July 2025. Subsequent updates will contain one new month of data.
