Is any part of Texas in the hurricane zone?

[bluestateguy]

I was generally ignoring the storm coverage as "yet another Florida hurricane", but all of a sudden this storm became a powerhouse.

Is any of Texas in the path? Will Texas get the the tropical storm leftovers?

I imagine DUH-bya has taken cover elsewhere besides Crawford. This thing is HUGE, and is bearing down on the entire western Gulf Coast.
