AUSTIN, Texas — Planned Parenthood and other groups sued Texas on Thursday over a new ban on a second-trimester abortion procedure, the state’s first major antiabortion measure since the US Supreme Court struck down a law that had prompted more than half of its abortion clinics to close.

The lawsuit asks a federal judge to stop Texas from banning a common procedure known as dilation and evacuation, which other Republican-controlled states have also tried outlawing in recent years. Similar bans are in effect in Mississippi and West Virginia but have been blocked by courts in four other states.

One Republican lawmaker, state Senator Charles Schwertner, acknowledged in May when the new antiabortion measure was approved that a court challenge was likely. But he said legislators shouldn’t be deterred from passing laws they think are ‘‘necessary, proper, and right.’’
