Police said neighbors threw crackers to the pig to keep it in the area until an animal control officer arrived with a catch pole.
"We know that [Rodeo Houston] has daily pig races, but we had our own version today in East Houston," police tweeted. "This little piggy sent our Eastside Patrol officers on an escapade through the neighborhood."
The pig's owner said her pet, named Bacon, apparently escaped from her home when her sister left a door open.
Police said the owner might be cited for keeping a pig inside city limits.
