What the National Weather Service wrote

The Texas Coastal Ocean Observing Network (TCOON) site at Rincon del San Jose reported a peak gust of nearly 40 knots at 8 AM CST, part of a 30 minute stretch of Gale force gusts associated with a east-moving squall line.

The wider storm

A squall line that originated along and east of the Sierra Madre during the pre-dawn hours of April 7 rolled across the Rio Grande Valley and Deep South Texas during the early morning, then continued across the Lower Texas Gulf waters through mid to late morning, producing dozens of minutes of gale force gusts from Laguna Madre through the waters beyond 20 nautical miles offshore.
