Both were taken into custody after officers responded to a welfare check call around 12:45 a.m. in the 1600 block of State Highway 123 Bypass.
Police said a 26-year-old woman who cried out for help was found at a nearby residence.
The woman told officers that she was kidnapped from the Katy area and sexually assaulted by two people, who police later identified as Smith and Lee.
Smith and Lee were both charged with aggravated sexual assault and trafficking of a person, the post states. They have since been booked into the Guadalupe County Jail on $2 million apiece.
