AnswerHi Maugno :)
Ok, considering how far along she is (not very), you still have some time to work out a plan and a how you can work this out. This happens to many others, and you can definitely work something out. I don't know where in Texas you are, but can you find out if there is a Planned Parenthood near you? If you can't, let me know, and I'll find out for you; I'm happy to offer some help :) So, I'm going to post a link, that goes to a page where thee's a list of abortion providers in Texas (scroll to the bottom)

This is form a reliable site, so the risk of running into a crisis pregnancy center isn't a threat (they lie and coerce women into keeping pregnancies they don't want). I would never offer a resource I didn't trust myself.
Also, as art of the abortioninfo community on Livejournal that is such an excellent resource, the following clinics were recommended:
Austin/San Antonio: Reproductive Services
Dallas: Fairmount Center
Dallas: Planned Parenthood of North Texas (1)
Houston: Houston Women's Clinic
Houston: Aaron Women's Clinic
Unfortunately, in Texas, parental consent is required of 1 parent for the procedure to be performed. Still, if there is a Planned Parenthood nearby, go there, where your girlfriend will be able to discuss her options with a counselor. She could try to get a judicial bypass, but those are largely unsuccessful. If she doesn't have insurance that will cover part of the cost, then the procedure could range from 300-600$ give or take.
