Ward, 33, was arrested on the scene around 5:30 a.m. and was being held on third-degree felony charges, per information from the Montgomery County Jail. Bond had yet to be set.
"We are aware of the report involving Jimmie Ward," the Texans said in a statement. "We are gathering more information and have no further comment at this time."
Ward has not been spotted at the team's offseason workouts or this week's mandatory minicamp as he works his way back from a foot injury that required season-ending surgery.
He recorded 48 tackles and two interceptions -- one returned for a touchdown -- in 10 games (all starts) last season.
Ward has totaled 549 tackles, 10 interceptions -- three returned for a touchdown -- in 126 career games (99 starts) with the San Francisco 49ers (2014-22) and Texans. He was selected by the 49ers with the 30th overall pick of the 2014 NFL Draft out of Northern Illinois.
