Ted Cruz’s Daughter Hospitalized In Houston

Sen. Ted Cruz says his teenage daughter is “okay” after cops were called to his Texas home Tuesday night for a medical emergency. Houston PD responded to Cruz’s house in Houston’s River Oaks neighborhood around 8 PM last night after receiving a report of a 14-year-old with self-inflicted stab wounds to their arm. 

The teen was taken to the hospital.  Ted and his wife Heidi and their 2 daughters, ages 11 and 14. It was unclear if Ted was at home in Texas or was in Washington.

A representative for Ted Cruz said: “This is a family matter, and thankfully their daughter is OK. There were no serious injuries. The family requests that the media respect their daughter’s privacy at this time.”

According to ABC13:

Police could not say whether the call involved a member of Cruz’s family. The Texas Republican has two daughters.

ABC13 reached out to Sen. Cruz’s office for comment. Representatives said the police activity involved a family matter. 

Regarding a question about one of the senator’s daughters, they said that she’s OK and there were no serious injuries.
