Since hurricanes develop over the ocean, the hurricanes that impact Texas strike it along the Gulf Coast.
east coast
No. Hurricanes don't usually go that far north, and by the time some do reach that latitude they are usually far away from the U.S. west coast.
Hurricanes generally strike the U.S. on the Gulf Coast and the southern Atlantic coast. This is because hurricanes are a tropical phenomenon that can only develop over warm ocean water. This warm water provides the moisture that fuels hurricanes. Cold water or land cannot provide enough moisture. The waters of the Gulf of Mexico and the Gulf Stream are generally warm enough to support hurricanes but further north they are too cold. Few hurricanes that stray that far north maintain hurricane strength. The waters off the west coast of the U.S. are similarly too cold for hurricanes.
Tornadoes can happen anywhere in the U.S. but are most common on the Great Plains, In fact the region is sometimes called Tornado Alley. Hurricanes hit the U.S. most often along the Gulf coast and the southern Atlantic Coast, with Florida being a common place of impact. Occasionally they will strike the northern Atlantic coast.
September-October
August and especially September, with October probably being #3.

Hurricanes strike Texas along the Gulf coast, typically along the northern portion.
east coast
Hurricanes gain their energy from warm ocean water. The water off the U.S. Atlantic coast is warmer than the water off the Pacific coast
The most common path is to initially move westward and then turn north and sometimes east to strike either the Gulf Coast or the southern Atlantic Coast.

Three areas usually hit by hurricanes are the eastern coast of the US, Caribbean nations, and the northern coast of the Gulf of Mexico. Hurricane season runs from June 1 until November 30.
Tornadoes in the U.S. are most common on the Great Plains and in the Deep South. Hurricanes usually impact the Gulf coast and the southern Atlantic coast.
In the early summer months, hurricanes form off of the western coast of Africa. They then move west across the ocean toward the United States.
