The Houston Texans have been pretty low key in free agency, mostly because they: 1. aren't one player away; 2. don't have a ton of money to spend; 3. usually make bad free agent acquisitions and trades (see e.g. Anthony Weaver, Ahman Green, Phillip Buchanon).
At SI.com, they are reporting unidentified "league source" suggesting that recently released Atlanta running back Warrick Dunn might be interested in the Cowboys, Texans or Broncos. The Texans are reportedly wanting him to have a visit, as they are not interested in re-signing running back Ron Dayne. I can't see Dunn as a Texan unless he really wants to be reunited with offensive line guru Alex Gibbs, and doesn't sign for much.

For the most part, the Texans have spent this free agency period shoring up weaknesses with not terribly splashy acquisitions: former Dallas CB Jacques Reeves, former Seattle linebacker Kevin Bentley (seen in above HT.com video or video transcript here), and re-signing Andre Davis.
A number of Texans fans who are also Cowboys fans aren't terribly thrilled about the signing of Reeves but acknowledge with faint praise that he is probably better than what they currently have in the secondary. DGDB&D calls him "my new Petey Faggins," (not a good thing, so yeah, I'm going to have to warn about bad language in that last link).
NFL columnist for the Houston Chronicle John McClain claims that Reeves signing won't prevent the Texans from taking cornerback with the #18 pick. The Dallas Morning News notes with a bit of semi-hidden glee for an exiting Cowboy who neither Dallas or Miami (where his old secondary coach is) pursued.

The Kevin Bentley signing at linebacker seems to be a good fit for the Texans. He can play different linebacker positions and is the sort of fast, smart, responsible player that the Texans try to acquire. Oh, and for those who care, he takes care of his body in part by eating healthy and doing Bikram yoga, and is a male model.
Re-signing wide receiver Andre Davis is not a terribly headline-making move, but it helps in special teams and not having to coach up another wide receiver. The Texans have been trying to build for so long that it is nice when they are able to have some continuity in personnel.
