Attorney Tony Buzbee, who also represents the plaintiffs in the civil lawsuits against Watson, filed a case against the Texans. It cited how the franchise enabled the quarterback's behavior:

“Today, we filed the first case of what will likely be many against the Houston Texans related to Deshaun Watson’s behavior,” “Suffice it to say, the overwhelming evidence collected indicating that the Houston Texans enabled Watson’s behavior is incredibly damning. We believe the Texans knew or most certainly should have known of Watson’s conduct. Beyond that, we believe the filing speaks for itself.”

A New York Times report claims that Watson had interactions with at least 66 women for massage therapy sessions over a 17-month period of time. The report also mentioned that he had assistance from the organization, including non-disclosure agreements (NDAs), in making appointments for massages.
