Let $d(x,A)$ be the distance to the closed set $A$. Continuity gives
$$
\{T_A\leq t\}
=\left\{\inf_{s\in[0,t]}d(X_s,A)=0\right\}
=\left\{\inf_{q\in\mathbb Q\cap[0,t]}d(X_q,A)=0\right\}.
$$
Every variable in the countable infimum is $\mathcal F_t$-measurable by adaptedness, so the event belongs to $\mathcal F_t$. Hence $T_A$ is a <stopping time>.
