One of the men began striking the woman with a baseball bat and the woman pulled out a gun and shot him, KTRK reported. The other man fled the office, the television station reported.
"At least one of them had a bat and hit her a couple times," a Sheriff's Office spokesman told KPRC. "That's when she pulled her gun out (and opened fire)."
Deputies are still searching for the second man, KTRK reported.
