Texas is one of 13 states that ban abortion at nearly all stages of pregnancy.
The suit says doctors told her their “hands are tied” under Texas' abortion ban.
Spokespersons for the Texas attorney general's office, which has defended the ban in court, did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
The lawsuit was filed a week after the Texas Supreme Court heard arguments about whether the ban is too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications.
A judge later ruled that Texas’ ban was too restrictive for women with pregnancy complications, but that decision was swiftly put on hold after the state appealed.
