You’re in the 15 to 20” zone.

I'm going out on a limb here and say if you're within 10 miles of the coastline from Galveston to Lake Charles you should prepare and expect 10-12" of rain as a minimum. Just my opinion, of course.

The 4 pm track actually shifted a little s to Port O'Connor.

18z GFS is a few mb's weaker at landfall. Stalls for half a day and creeps up the coast and offshore enough that it pulses up and down. Vorticity is strong enough that it would remain gusty along the beach the entire weak. Erosion would be significant

For most SE Texas, it doesn't like the wind or rain will be anything beyond we see routinely every spring. Yawn. Why would the boards be active?

18z HWRF makes landfall Monday morning in Matagorda Bay as a moderate TS. It doesn't drive it w like it has been and turns more to the n moving between Houston and Austin.
