From 1980 to the present, 81 tropical or subtropical cyclones affected the U.S. state of Texas. According to David Roth of the Weather Prediction Center, a tropical cyclone makes landfall along the coastline about three times every four years. On any Script error: No such module "convert". segment of the coastline, a hurricane makes landfall about once every six years.[1]

The most active month is September, with 21 total storms, while no recorded storms have affected Texas during the months of December through May. The most intense storm in terms of barometric pressure and maximum sustained winds is Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which also caused the most fatalities and damages, with $125 billion in Texas.[nb 1] The first storm to impact the state during the period is Hurricane Allen in August 1980, with the most recent being Hurricane Beryl in July 2024.[1][2]

During the 1980s, multiple tropical cyclones affected the state, of which six made landfall as hurricanes; two made landfall in the state as major hurricanes.[1][nb 2] Hurricane Alicia is the most destructive hurricane of the decade, severely impacting the Greater Houston area. The names of all the major hurricanes that impacted Texas during the 1980s were later retired by the World Meteorological Organization.[4] In contrast to the 1980s, during the 1990s only one hurricane, Hurricane Bret, made landfall on the Texas coast.[5] In the next decade five hurricanes would make landfall on Texas.[1] Hurricane Ike, the second costliest hurricane to impact Texas, made landfall during the decade. Other notable systems include Tropical Storm Allison and Hurricane Rita.

  • September 11, 1998 – Tropical Storm Frances makes landfall north of Corpus Christi on September 11 as a moderately strong tropical storm. Rainfall causes large amounts of flooding in southeast Texas and southwest Louisiana, peaking at Script error: No such module "convert". in Goose Creek.[19] As a result of the rains, many rivers and bayous overflow.[74] Due to the storm, tides are Script error: No such module "convert". above average.[75] Frances causes an estimated total of $500 million in property damage.[76]
  • Mid-October 1998 – Moisture associated with the remnants of Hurricane Madeline results in flooding in Central Texas.[77] The event breaks numerous rain records in the region, including the wettest month for San Antonio since records began in 1885.[74] In addition, 15 rivers exceed the previously known peak flow.[74] The floods kill 31 people.[77] and cause $1.5 billion in damages.[78]
  • August 23, 1999 – Hurricane Bret makes landfall as a Category 3 hurricane on Padre Island, becoming the first major hurricane to hit Texas since Hurricane Alicia in 1983.[79] As it approaches landfall, large swells cause minor beach erosion along the coast. Along with rainfall from Bret, beaches in Matagorda County are closed due to the high water level.[80] Further inland, heavy rainfall occurs across South Texas, reaching Script error: No such module "convert". in Sarita.[81] At the height of the storm, power outages cut electricity to an estimated 64,000 customers.[82] Due to the small size of Bret and its landfall in a relatively unpopulated region of the Texas coast, damages from Bret total just $15 million, but it causes four deaths, all of which are attributed to a semi-trailer truck jackknifing in Laredo.[83]
  • September 8, 1999 – Tropical Depression Seven's remnants produce light rainfall, peaking at Script error: No such module "convert". in Harlingen.[84]

  • Early-September 2011 – The outer bands of Tropical Storm Lee cause light rain in eastern Texas, peaking at Script error: No such module "convert". in Nederland.[19] Despite the light rainfall, strong winds further inland help ignite numerous wildfires throughout the state.[140] One of the fires, the Bastrop County Complex fire, destroys 1,700 homes and businesses, becoming the most destructive wildfire in Texas history.[141]
  • August 31, 2012 – Outer rainbands associated with Hurricane Isaac cause slight rainfall in East Texas, peaking at around Script error: No such module "convert". near Galveston Bay.[142] Strong winds associated with Isaac's thunderstorms knock down many trees in Trinity County, where wind gusts peak at an estimated Script error: No such module "convert"..[143]
  • September 29, 2012 – Moisture associated with the remnants of Hurricane Miriam and Tropical Storm Norman brings light rainfall over areas of Texas, slightly alleviating drought conditions. Rainfall in the state measures Script error: No such module "convert"., causing some flash flooding. Combined with a surface trough, the moisture generates severe thunderstorms which later coalesce into a squall line, bringing strong winds which cause numerous reports of window damage. A weather station near Paducah records a peak wind gust of Script error: No such module "convert"..[144]
  • Mid-September 2013 – As Hurricane Ingrid passes to the south, its outer rainbands drop isolated areas of heavy rainfall across South Texas. Rainfall totals from the bands peak at approximately Script error: No such module "convert". near the Texas border with Mexico.[145]
  • September 3, 2014 – Despite making landfall near Tampico, Mexico, the outer rainbands of Tropical Storm Dolly traverse South Texas, producing rainfall totals peaking at Script error: No such module "convert". in Hidalgo County. After dissipating, moisture from the remnant system causes additional showers in the area. Urban flooding as a result of poor water drainage occurs in Brownsville, Edinburg, and McAllen. However, the heavy rainfall helps to alleviate some drought conditions in South Texas.[146]
  • September 20, 2014 – Flooding associated with the remnants of Hurricane Odile killed one sheriff's deputy in Austin.[147]

  • June 22, 2017 – Tropical Storm Cindy makes landfall near Port Arthur with winds of Script error: No such module "convert".. One fatality takes place in Bolivar Peninsula.[153]
  • August 25, 2017 – Hurricane Harvey makes landfall on San José Island near Rockport as a Category 4 hurricane on August 25 with sustained winds of 130 mph (215 km/h).[154] The Aransas County Airport in Rockport registers a peak wind gust of Template:Cvt within Harvey's eyewall. Extensive wind damage occurs in Rockport and Fulton, with many roofs blown off and walls torn apart; widespread damage also befalls nearby communities.[155] Storm surge inundates areas along San Antonio and Hynes bays under as much as Template:Cvt of water, resulting in major flood conditions.[154][155] Weak steering currents cause Harvey to slowly meander along the Texas Coastal Plain for several days, subjecting large swaths of the region to prolonged and torrential rainfall from the storm's rainbands.[154][156] The rains constitute the most prolific rainfall event associated with a tropical cyclone in U.S. history, with the peak rainfall total of Template:Cvt in Nederland, setting the national record for the largest rainfall total measured in connection to a tropical cyclone;[154] at least 18 observing sites report amounts exceeding the previous record for the contiguous U.S. of Template:Cvt.[157] The unprecedented scale of the rainfall in both extent and magnitude causes catastrophic flooding, displacing approximately 1.8 million people.[154][156] Bayous in the Greater Houston area rapidly rise and overrun their banks, prompting evacuations and submerging parts of Houston; 60,049 residents are rescued.[156] Parts of all 22 major freeways in the metropolitan area suffer inundation.[158] Tens of thousands of homes in Southeast Texas are inundated by record flooding.[159] In total, Harvey's effects destroyed 16,930 homes and damaged 290,063 homes.[156] At least 68 deaths are directly attributed to Harvey's forces, making it the deadliest hurricane in Texas since 1919; an additional 35 deaths are indirectly attributed to Harvey. The NOAA estimates a $125 billion damage toll for Harvey, making it the second costliest hurricane in U.S. history when adjusting for inflation and the costliest hurricane in Texas history.[154][160]
  • September 17–19, 2019 – Tropical Storm Imelda makes landfall near Freeport, Texas with winds of Template:Cvt.[161] The slow and erratic movement of the tropical cyclone produces widespread and catastrophic flooding across much of southeastern Texas.[162] A peak rainfall total of Template:Cvt is recorded at North Fork Taylor's Bayou in Jefferson County.[163] Imelda's effects killed five people.[164]
