Troopers with the Texas Department of Safety said the driver failed to yield at the crossing, which caused their car to be struck by an oncoming train.
The impact pushed the car more than half a mile down the tracks.
The husband and wife were pronounced dead at the scene.
Their three children were in the back and survived but were all rushed to University Hospital in serious condition. Two of them were flown by helicopter.
