A Texas appeals court on Thursday dismissed an injunction that forced a Houston-area midwife to close her clinics, ruling that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton's office relied solely on an anonymous email as evidence that she violated the state's 2022 abortion ban.

Paxton's office secured the injunction last year against clinics operated by Maria Margarita Rosas.

She still faces criminal charge that she provided unlawful abortions and employed unlicensed individuals.
