KSAT sister station KPRC in Houston tweeted video of officials trying to get the woman down.
When deputies arrived, a woman was undressing and could be seen on traffic cameras dancing on top of a big rig.
It is unknown why the woman climbed on the truck.
KPRC reporter Jace Larson tweeted photos of the woman on top of the truck. The photos show a fire truck pulled up to the front of the semi and officials talking to the woman.
