 Immediately after Tropical Depression Two was classified , a tropical storm warning was issued for the state of Texas , covering the coastline from Baffin Bay to the northern mouth of the Rio Grande . In addition , a tropical storm warning was also issued by the government of Mexico , stretching from Rio San Fernando northward also to the mouth of the Rio Grande . Subsequent coastal flooding and flash flood warnings were issued by local National Weather Service offices in southern and eastern Texas as the NHC predicted 4 to 8 in ( 100 to 200 mm ) of rain , with 10 in ( 250 mm ) locally . Alerts were also issued for the Mexican states of Tamaulipas , Nuevo León and Coahuila , where officials warned people of the potential for heavy rains , flooding , and landslides . The Sistema Nacional de Protección Civil ( National Civil Protection System ) raised a red alert , the highest level on the scale , for portions of Tamaulipas and noted that extreme caution was necessary in areas between Rio San Fernando and the Texas @-@ Mexico border . After Tropical Depression Two made landfall in Texas , all of the tropical storm warnings associated with the storm were discontinued .
