NFL Suspends Texans Minority Owner Javier Loya Indefinitely, Fines Him $500,000

The penalty follows a multi-year league probe into 2022 misconduct allegations.

Overview

  • Loya will be eligible to apply for reinstatement no earlier than June 2026, according to the NFL.
  • The Texans said they cooperated with the investigation, fully support the discipline, and have kept Loya away from club activities since 2023.
  • In March 2024, Loya entered an Alford plea to a misdemeanor harassment charge as seven sexual-assault counts were dropped.
  • The accusations stem from two May 2022 parties at Loya’s Louisville home where models reported unwanted touching and sexual advances.
  • Loya publicly disagreed with the decision and said he intends to seek reinstatement after addressing remaining questions with league leadership.
