What the National Weather Service wrote

A thunderstorm moved across Presidio County and produced a 59 mph wind gust five miles north of the town of Presidio.

The wider storm

An upper level ridge was over the region, and upper level disturbances under the ridge interacted with a weakening frontal boundary across West Texas. Strong surface heating and moisture were also present which helped to increase instability. These conditions contributed to a thunderstorm that produced strong winds in West Texas.
