List of Texas hurricanes (1980–present)

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 50 mi (80 km) segment of the coastline, a hurricane makes landfall about once every six years.

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.

The names of all the major hurricanes that impacted Texas during the 1980s were later retired by the World Meteorological Organization.

Other notable systems include Tropical Storm Allison and Hurricane Rita.
