In previous stories, it was said that she was told she was being taken to a clinic to get her abortion but instead was taken to a pregnancy crisis center which tried to dissuade her from getting one. Wouldn't that count as the required counseling under Texas law?

From the link in the OP:

"Although Ms. Doe’s representatives informed the government of the change in timing, they did not inform the government of the other two developments – which kept the government in the dark about when Ms. Doe was scheduled to have an abortion.”

Texas law requires women planning to undergo abortions to attend counseling 24 hours in advance of the procedure.
