The woman was transported to an area hospital via ambulance. Information on her condition was not immediately known.
"She arrived at the Pharr point of entry and emergency procedures took over and she was removed by ambulance," Garza said.
A source at the bridge said the woman arrived in a truck that had been "riddled with bullets" from an apparent attack in Mexico.
