AUSTIN — Eight individuals affiliated with Houston-area medical clinics owned by Maria Margarita Rojas were indicted Wednesday, Oct. 8.
According to the Texas Attorney General’s Office, the individuals are accused of providing illegal abortions and practicing without proper medical licenses.
“This cabal of abortion-loving radicals has been running illegal clinics staffed with unlicensed individuals who endangered the very people they pretended to help,” Attorney General Ken Paxton said in a statement. “Beyond being illegal, it is evil. These dens of fake doctors will not be allowed to operate in Texas. Those responsible will be held accountable. I will always protect innocent life and use every tool to enforce Texas’s pro-life laws.”
In March 2025, Rojas was arrested and accused of providing illegal abortions and operating a network of clinics in northwest Houston. The clinics were shut down under a temporary restraining order obtained by Paxton’s Healthcare Program Enforcement Division. A Waller County grand jury later indicted Rojas on 15 felony counts.
The eight individuals indicted are Yaimara Hernandez Alvarez, Alina Valeron Leon, Dalia Coromoto Yanez, Yhonder Lebrun Acosta, Liunet Grandales Estrada, Gerardo Otero Aguero, Sabiel Bosch Gongora, and Jose Manuel Cendan Ley.
