 Early on July 8 , additional data from the Hurricane Hunters indicated that the system developed a closed circulation and the NHC classified it as a tropical depression at 0000 UTC , making it the second of the hurricane season . At this time , the system was situated roughly 250 mi ( 400 km ) southeast of Brownsville , Texas . At this time , the depression also attained its peak intensity with maximum sustained winds of 35 mph ( 55 km / h ) and a minimum barometric pressure of 1005 mbar ( hPa ; 29 @.@ 68 inHg ) . Tropical Depression Two was anticipated to intensify into a tropical storm before making landfall in Mexico ; however , the depression failed to gain strength before moving inland . Following a reconnaissance mission at 1200 UTC , Hurricane Hunters found winds near tropical storm intensity ; however , land @-@ based observations did not support this and the depression was not classified as a tropical storm . Later that day , the depression made landfall in South Padre Island , Texas at 1515 UTC with winds of 35 mph ( 55 km / h ) . The tropical depression weakened slightly while moving near the Texas @-@ Mexico border , when the NHC discontinued advisories on the system . Although the NHC ceased monitoring Tropical Depression Two , the Hydrometeorological Prediction Center ( HPC ) issued advisories until it dissipated early on July 10 , over northern Mexico .
