The 2002 season was the Houston Texans' debut season in the National Football League and the first NFL season for the city of Houston since the Oilers moved to Tennessee to become the Titans in 1997. Their coaching staff was headed by Dom Capers, who previously coached the expansion Carolina Panthers when they debuted in 1995. The divisional realignment also placed the Texans and Titans in the same division.

The 2002 season was the Houston Texans' debut season in the National Football League and the first NFL season for the city of Houston since the Oilers moved to Tennessee to become the Titans in 1997. Their coaching staff was headed by Dom Capers, who previously coached the expansion Carolina Panthers when they debuted in 1995. The divisional realignment also placed the Texans and Titans in the same division. The Texans won their inaugural regular season game against the Dallas Cowboys 19–10 on Sunday Night Football. They were the first to do this since the 1961 Minnesota Vikings won their inaugural game. The Texans finished their debut season with a 4–12 record. Due to being an expansion franchise, the Texans were given the first overall pick in the 2002 NFL Draft. Houston used the selection on Fresno State quarterback David Carr. Carr finished the season with 2,592 passing yards, setting the franchise record for most passing yards by a rookie in a single season. Carr's record would not be broken until 2021, when Davis Mills finished that season with 2,664 passing yards.

La stagione 2002 degli Houston Texans è stata la prima della franchigia nella National Football League, al ritorno nella città di Houston dopo che nel 1997 gli Houston Oilers si erano trasferiti diventando i Tennessee Titans. I Texans vinsero la loro prima partita contro i Dallas Cowboys 19–10 nel Sunday Night Football, divenendo la prima squadra dai Minnesota Vikings del 1961 a vincere la partita di debutto nella lega. L'allenatore Dom Capers, che in precedenza aveva guidato un altro expansion team, i Carolina Panthers del 1995, portò i Texans a un record di 4-12, guidati in campo dal quarterback scelto come primo assoluto David Carr.
