Looks like it:
My friends in the Rockport, TX area are pretty much right in the center of that cone, but that's not necessarily bad. If the storm stays below hurricane strength, which it looks like it will, wind damage will be minimal but rain totals will be pretty significant, and that part of Texas has been very parched this year. This storm could really be a game changer for much of Southwest Texas.
A tropical storm can dump prodigious amounts of rain - 6"-10" depending on the size and speed of the storm - and that could certainly cause some local flooding problems, but there's such a rain deficit in much of Texas I don't think they'll mind the risk of a local flash flood or two.
They've been praying for rain, and it looks like they're going to get some.
