The Brownsville METAR station recently reported sustained winds to 44 mph, with a gust to 69 mph at 2301 CDT. South Padre Island reported a wind gust to 67 mph.
Radar is now showing up to 80 kts at 500-1000 feet just to the north and east of the center, so there could still be some gusts approaching hurricane force along the track of the center, which should parallel the TX/MX border for the next couple of hours.
