Those beaches have icky tarballs when there hasn't been a spill.

Last summer, state officials filled up at least 24 55-gallon drums of tar balls that were scattered along a one-mile stretch of beach from the mouth of the Rio Grande to South Padre Island, one of the state's most pristine beaches and a major tourist destination.

Which spill was THIS from?

That would be rare. So rare they actually clean them up.

BTW such tar there would come from Mexican waters NOT from any US drilling.
