Experienced in moving you from New York to Texas
Along with a steady stream of New Yorkers, the lone star state has recently been attracting some high profile new residents like Tesla’s Elon Musk and tech giants like Hewlett Packard.
Texas is the second largest state in the U.S. by population after California, and it seems the lower real estate prices, better tax laws and fewer restrictions are making it increasingly attractive as a place to live, work and invest.

Our top moving tips when moving to Texas
From a strong jobs market keeping apace with population growth to warmer weather and beautiful national parks to explore, there’s a lot to love about Texas.
No matter your budget or interests, whether you want to relocate your business or raise a family, there are affordable options across the state.
Some key differences with New York state are worth noting before you arrive.
- Lower taxes. It’s hard to get past this selling point. Texas is one of 7 states in America without state income tax and of course you already know New York is not one of them. There are multiple tax incentives for businesses to move there including less onerous regulations which explains why tech titans like Oracle from the Bay Area are making the jump to cities like Austin.
- Jobs Market & Talent. There’s incredible momentum in the Texan economy and it’s one of the healthiest in the United States. Post pandemic the state unemployment rate has been in recovery with more than 7 months of consecutive jobs growth. Austin now leads the nation in jobs market resilience, attracting more corporate jobs and remote workers than ever before. Thanks to the construction of tens of thousands of new apartments in the capital in recent years, the rent there is also cheaper than Manhattan, Brooklyn and San Francisco. When it comes to buying, house prices are affordable in major cities including Houston, San Antonio and Plano where the school district is of high quality.
- Power to the people. Unlike New York, Texas has a deregulated electricity market which means you can choose your own energy supplier. That means you can change providers as you need to and you can choose a supplier that meets the needs of your home best. The Public Utility Commission of Texas provides all the details on how to shop around and compare providers at powertochoose.org
- Living large. A common factor between Texans and New Yorkers is that they both love travel and food. Beyond Tex Mex and barbecued meats are cuisines influenced by nations including Korea, Germany and the Czech republic. While the official food of Texas is chilli, this state has become an expert at taking American staples and super sizing them, like Jalapeno cornbread and Texas toast. A word to the wise, when we say super sized, that refers to portions as well. You’ll find size is a common theme in Texas, from large malls to large houses the phrase “everything is bigger in Texas” applies to more than just its land mass.
- The Texas Experience. Warmer weather is a guarantee if you move to Texas, summers average in the mid to high 90s but you’ll also experience more tornadoes than any other state especially on the Gulf Coast. Hitting the open road will be well worth your while, with more than 100 state parks including Big Bend National Park which is a global gold tier destination for stargazing at night or hiking, rock climbing and canyoning by day. If a frontier experience is more your thing, ranch visits to the Dixie Dude Ranch and rodeos like the Stockyards Rodeo in Fort Worth will keep up the excitement factor. You’ll have 90 days after moving there to legally explore the state before you have to apply for a Texas licence in person and surrender your New York licence.
