Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

My girlfriend's parents found out about our relationship and when my girlfriend didn't want to tell her father about it, he slapped her 2 or 3 times and beat her with a belt. She has a black eye, a cut next to her eye, a cut on the inside of her lip, and very large bruises and whipping marks along her arms, legs, shoulders, and thighs. What can I do? I had her take pictures of all of these things. She is 17 years old.
