The undercover operation, featuring female undercover investigators posing as street prostitutes, targeted those who paid for sexual acts.

It was conducted by Harris County Precinct 4 Constable's Office, the HPD Vice Unit, the Department of Homeland Security and Cypress Creek authorities on Wednesday and Thursday.

"These types of illegal activities will not be overlooked, tolerated or condoned in our communities where we live and raise our children. Instead all law enforcement resources will be utilized to keep these illicit activities from occurring," Precinct 4 Constable Mark Herman said.

The men all face prostitution charges, and some also face drug charges.
