Essential Information for Leaving Texas
Moving out of Texas involves specific considerations. Here’s what you need to know based on our 10 years of interstate experience.
Tax Implications of Leaving Texas
Texas has no state income tax, so you’ll likely face higher taxes in your destination state. Research your new state’s tax structure, including income tax rates, property taxes, and sales tax. Some states offer tax credits for new residents or retirees.
Vehicle Registration & Inspections
Texas vehicles must meet your destination state’s inspection and emission standards. Some states require immediate registration, others allow 30+ days. We coordinate with auto transport services and can recommend certified inspection stations in your destination state.
Professional License Transfers
Texas professionals (doctors, lawyers, teachers, real estate agents) must research reciprocity agreements and transfer requirements. Some states require additional testing or continuing education. We recommend starting this process 3-6 months before your move.
Climate Adjustments
Moving from Texas’s hot, humid climate to different regions requires preparation. Consider seasonal clothing needs, home heating/cooling systems, and how weather patterns might affect your lifestyle and utility costs in your new state.
Cost of Living Variations
While Texas generally has a lower cost of living, this varies significantly by destination. Housing, utilities, and everyday expenses can be much higher in states like California or New York. Factor in salary adjustments and different tax structures when budgeting.
Establishing New State Residency
To establish residency in your new state, you’ll need to change voter registration, driver’s license, bank accounts, and insurance policies. Some states have specific requirements for residency establishment. We provide comprehensive checklists for each destination state.
Texas Out-of-State Moving Questions
Get expert answers to the most common questions about moving from Texas to other states.
How much does it cost to move from Texas to another state?
Interstate moves from Texas typically range from $3,000-12,000+ depending on distance, home size, and services. Moves to nearby states like Oklahoma or Louisiana cost less than cross-country moves to California or New York. We provide detailed, binding estimates with all costs included—no surprises.
How long does an interstate move from Texas take?
Transit times vary by destination: 2-4 days to nearby states (Oklahoma, Louisiana, Arkansas), 4-6 days to the West Coast or Northeast, and 5-8 days for cross-country moves. We provide real-time tracking and regular updates throughout your move.
Will I pay more taxes after leaving Texas?
Most likely, yes. Texas has no state income tax, while most other states do. However, some states like Florida, Nevada, and Tennessee also have no income tax. We provide tax comparison information for your destination state to help you plan financially.
Can you transport my car along with my household goods?
Yes, we partner with licensed auto transport companies to coordinate vehicle shipping with your household move. This is often more cost-effective than driving, especially for long distances, and ensures your car arrives safely without adding mileage or wear.
What if my new home isn’t ready when my belongings arrive?
We offer flexible storage solutions in your destination state. Your belongings can be stored securely in climate-controlled facilities until you’re ready for delivery. Storage costs are transparent and we coordinate delivery timing to match your schedule.
Are you licensed for interstate moves from Texas?
Yes, Moving Services connects you with fully licensed and insured carriers for interstate moving. These carriers hold all necessary federal DOT and MC operating authorities. Our network’s comprehensive insurance coverage protects your belongings throughout the entire long-distance moving process. We can provide documentation upon request.
