A Texas mother is facing charges after she was found lying outside with her two young children in freezing temperatures.

The Harris County Sheriff’s Office said deputies responded to a 911 call about a woman outside with her children on 12062 Veterans Memorial Drive in Houston at around 6:40 a.m. on Tuesday.

The caller reported that the three were lying on a sidewalk during what weather forecasters described as historic snowfall in the area.

When deputies responded, they found the woman and her 1-year-old and 2-month-old children. Both babies were suffering from cold-related injuries and were immediately rendered aid, according to the sheriff’s office.

Much of the Houston area saw two to four inches of snowfall beginning Monday night with a few areas reporting as much as five inches. 

Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing, leaving dangerous and icy road conditions.
