Fairbairn, an undrafted free agent out of UCLA, reached a deal with the Texans, per a source, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.
Fairbairn made all 47 of his extra points and 20 of his 24 field-goal attempts during his senior year. Nick Novak ended the 2015 season as Houston's kicker, but he didn't perform so well that the Texans shouldn't entertain other options.
