Officers from the the Harris County Sheriff’s Office’s Crime Reduction Unit responded to a call from a local hotel that said a man was trying to get a room because of the freezing temperatures and power outages, but could not afford one, according to a Facebook post from the Harris County Sheriff’s Office.

Upon arrival, the Sheriff’s deputies discovered that the man had his family and small children with him, and proceeded to pay for the hotel room out of their own pockets so the family could get some warmth, the Sheriff’s Office post said.

“Our Crime Reduction Unit responded to a call at a local hotel where a patron couldn’t afford the room for the night. Being that he has a family with small children and the inclement weather, the deputies paid out of their pocket for the family to have a room for the night.”

Facebook users were quick to commend the officers by responding to the post, which currently has over 300 comments, 1.5 thousand shares, and 5.1 thousand likes and reactions.

The winter storms have claimed the lives of at least 47 individuals since Sunday, according to the Washington Post. More than half of the deaths, 30, were Texans.
