The attack happened in the 13700 block of River Keg near Rustling Leaves around 10am. The Harris County Sheriff's Office says suspects posing as police officers tied up a husband, wife and two young children while they ransacked the house.
The family has a security system in their home, but said they didn't have time to push the panic button before the suspects shoved their way inside.
The woman managed to get away and called 911 from a neighbor's house. She received a cut on her head and her husband has scratches on his back, but their kids were unharmed.
The suspects reportedly had badges hanging from their necks that read "Security." They were described as black, 5 feet 6-8 inches tall and wearing dark-colored clothing and baseball caps. The suspects may have fled the scene in a two-door Honda Civic.
The homeowner believes he may have been targeted because he owns a business.
The family says the suspects stole electronics, jewelry and cash.
