Why So Many Californians Choose Texas
Texas has no state personal income tax, and that headline gets most people looking. What closes the deal is usually housing: comparable homes in Texas metros tend to cost far less than in Los Angeles, the Bay Area or San Diego, and lots are bigger. Major employers in tech, energy, healthcare and finance have also expanded across the state.
The trade-offs are real too. Property taxes are higher than many Californians expect, summers are long and hot, and Gulf Coast cities deal with humidity and hurricane season. Our California to Texas relocation guide covers these details, and best Texas cities for Californians helps you compare metros.

Five Things to Plan for in Texas
Beat the heat
From June through September, Texas afternoons can be brutal. Early-morning delivery starts are easier on the crew, your belongings and you.
Protect heat-sensitive items
Candles, vinyl records, photos and some electronics can suffer in a hot truck. Consider carrying the most sensitive pieces in your car.
Check HOA rules
Many Texas suburbs are HOA-governed, with rules on truck parking and hours. Ask for them before delivery day.
Watch the Gulf
Houston and Corpus Christi deliveries during hurricane season may need flexible dates.
Budget for property tax
No income tax does not mean no taxes. Look up the property tax rate for your county before you buy.
