Moving from New Jersey to Texas means crossing state lines, so any mover you hire must hold active interstate authority from the FMCSA. Between the largest cities of the two states—Newark and Houston—the road distance is about 1,664 miles, which puts a typical move in the cross-country move bracket with a delivery window of 5 to 10 days.
New Jersey has about 9.3 million residents and Texas about 29.1 million. Living and labor costs are noticeably lower in Texas, so services bought at the destination (unpacking, storage, cleaning) usually cost less than in New Jersey. Texas has no state income tax on wages, while New Jersey does.
