Texans’ Jimmie Ward Arrested Again for Bond Violation

Houston Texans safety Jimmie Ward was arrested on August 8, 2025, in Montgomery County, Texas, for violating the zero-tolerance alcohol condition of his bond following a June arrest on felony domestic violence charges. Ward’s attorney, Steve Jackson, confirmed that no new criminal allegations have been made, and the latest arrest is solely due to the bond violation. The original charges, which include assault, strangulation, and threats against the mother of Ward’s child, will go before a grand jury on August 31, with a prior court date set for August 13. Ward is on the Texans’ physically unable to perform list due to a foot injury and has not joined training camp. The NFL is investigating, and the Texans have pledged cooperation with authorities. Team officials and Ward’s attorney have asked that judgment be reserved until after court proceedings conclude.
