Mothers in Texas who do not want their babies can leave them at a designated "Safe Haven" or "Safe Baby Site."

If you leave your baby at a fire or EMS station, the baby may be taken to a hospital to receive any needed medical attention. If you leave your unharmed infant at a Safe Haven, you will not be prosecuted for abandonment or neglect.
