Houston Police Executive Assistant Chief James Jones said the deputies were working an extra shift at the bar when they heard a disturbance outside around 2:15 a.m. local time on Saturday.
"It turns out it may have been a robbery they were intervening in ... probably unknown to them at the time," Jones said, "They were trying to arrest a suspect or detain a suspect ... when they were ambushed."
One of the injured was shot in the back and the other was shot in the foot, Constable Mark Herman said at a news conference. Both underwent surgery.
The suspect is believed to have shot the officers with a rifle, according to a NBC News report.
The shooting remains under investigation, said the report.
