To demonstrate the spatially uneven effects of abortion restriction laws in Texas. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Methods. We used network analysis to determine the change in distance to the nearest surgical abortion provider for 5253 Texas neighborhoods after the passing of Texas Senate Bill 8 (SB8; 2021) and the US Supreme Court\u2019s Dobbs v Jackson Women\u2019s Health Organization (2022) decision. We identified associations between key measures of neighborhood socioeconomic context and change in distance to providers using multivariable linear regression models. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Results. After the Dobbs decision, Texas residents experienced an average change in distance to the nearest provider of 457 miles (SD\u2009=\u2009179). Neighborhoods of concentrated disadvantage experienced the greatest increase in distance to abortion providers after SB8\u2019s passing, and neighborhoods with high levels of income inequality experienced the greatest increase in distance after the Dobbs decision. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Conclusions. We document the rapidly changing abortion landscape in a highly restrictive state and show that women living in more disadvantaged and unequal areas are most affected by the increasing distance to providers. <\/jats:p><jats:p> Public Health Implications. Our methods and findings will continue to be relevant in understanding the burden placed on women in areas where medical abortion has been restricted because of the Dobbs decision.
