Why people move to Texas
Texas has no state personal income tax, large job markets and newer, roomier homes than many coastal states. California is the biggest source of moves to Texas, followed by the Northeast, the Midwest and Florida.
Texas is big. Dallas to El Paso is more than 600 miles, so where in Texas you are moving matters as much as where you are coming from. Your coordinator plans the route to your exact city and neighborhood.
Property taxes in Texas are higher than in many states, which affects what many buyers choose. A lot of moves land in fast-growing suburbs like Frisco, McKinney, Katy, Round Rock and New Braunfels, often in new-build homes.

What affects the cost of moving to Texas
- Where in Texas. A move to El Paso and a move to Houston can differ by hundreds of miles from the same origin.
- Season. Summer is the busiest and most expensive time to move.
- Home size. Many people move into larger homes in Texas, and a bigger load costs more to ship.
- Access. New-build communities may have HOA rules or unfinished streets that limit large trucks.
- Extra services. Packing, storage, cleaning and setup are priced separately in your estimate.
Every move gets a written estimate before you book. Read more about estimate types and how long distance moving works.
Arrive to a clean home in Texas
Add move-out cleaning at your old home, move-in cleaning and setup at your new one, or both. One coordinator schedules every crew around your move dates.
