Since hurricanes develop over the ocean, the hurricanes that impact Texas strike it along the Gulf Coast.
The Gulf Coast of Texas is prone to hurricanes as it is the only part of the state in contact with the ocean.
Hurricanes in Texas typically occur along the Gulf Coast, with areas such as Corpus Christi, Houston, and Galveston being most susceptible. The warm waters of the Gulf of Mexico provide the fuel for hurricanes to develop and strengthen before making landfall.
That would be highly unsual but probably not impossible. Hurricane season officially runs from June until the end of November, and usually peaks in August and September. About 3% of hurricanes occur outside of the official season. April, however, is generally considered tornado season for Texas.
Hurricanes occur most often in states along the Gulf Coast and Atlantic Coast of the United States, including Florida, Texas, Louisiana, North Carolina, and South Carolina. These states are more vulnerable due to their location in the path of hurricanes originating in the Atlantic Ocean.
