NYC to Texas Movers — Reliable, Guaranteed-Price Long-Distance Moving
30+ Years Moving New Yorkers to Texas
30+ Years Moving New Yorkers to Texas — No Brokers, No Surprise Charges
Texas has become one of the most popular long-distance destinations for New Yorkers — lower taxes, more space, a lower cost of living, and major job markets in Dallas, Houston, and Austin are pulling a steady stream of people out of the city. At roughly 1,750 to 1,900 miles depending on where in Texas you’re headed, this is a serious cross-country move. Oz handles it with its own trucks and its own crew — no brokers, no third-party carriers, no handoffs mid-route. From pickup in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, Westchester, New Jersey, or Connecticut, to delivery at your Texas address, one company manages the entire job.

OZ HANDLES YOUR WHOLE MOVE
Oz Moving & Storage is a licensed and insured interstate moving company headquartered in New York City (founded 1993, US DOT #1058063, MC #439945) that provides full-service, long-distance moving from the NYC metro area, including Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, The Bronx, Westchester, NJ, and CT, to destinations across Texas, including Dallas, Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Fort Worth, and more.
Experienced NYC to Texas Movers You Can Trust
New York to Texas is one of the longer routes in the country — close to 1,900 miles to Houston, and further still to cities like El Paso and the Panhandle. On a move this size, who is physically handling your belongings matters a lot. Many moving companies take your deposit, then broker the job to a carrier you have never vetted. Oz does not work that way. We load your shipment in New York with our own crew and deliver it in Texas with our own team. No handoffs and no point where your stuff is in someone else’s hands without your knowledge.
Transit from New York City to Texas runs 10 to 14 business days depending on your destination and service tier. Dallas and the Dallas-Fort Worth area come in at the shorter end of that window. Houston, Austin, and San Antonio are in the middle. West Texas and the Panhandle run to the longer end. Your dedicated project manager confirms your delivery window at booking, and Diamond Delivery is available if you need your belongings on a specific date rather than a range.
If there is a gap between your New York move-out and your Texas move-in, Oz stores your belongings in our secure New York City facility and coordinates delivery to your Texas address when you are ready. Storage is available short-term or long-term.
Own Trucks, No Brokers Oz does not subcontract this route. Your belongings are handled by Oz employees in New York and delivered by Oz employees in Texas — the same accountability at both ends, regardless of the distance.
Dedicated Project Manager One person manages your move from quote through delivery. They coordinate pickup, track the shipment, and are reachable throughout — not just on moving day.
Guaranteed Flat Fee Pricing Your quote is your final price. No weight adjustments at delivery, no fuel surcharges tacked on after the fact. The number you agree to before the move is the number you pay.
NYC Storage Before You Go Timing gap between leaving New York and moving into Texas? Oz holds your belongings in our secure New York City facility and ships them to your Texas address on your schedule.Â
How Long Does It Take to Move from NYC to Texas?
Transit time from New York City to Texas runs 10 to 14 business days depending on your destination and the service tier you select. The further west in Texas, the longer the window. If you need a confirmed delivery date rather than a range, Diamond Delivery is available — ask when you request your quote.

Full-Service NYC to Texas Moving — Everything Included
Every Oz long-distance move includes professional loading and unloading, furniture protection, floor and wall protection at both locations, real-time tracking updates, and basic insurance coverage. Add any of the services below based on what your move requires.
Packing and Unpacking A move to Texas is a 10 to 14 day transit, not an afternoon across town. Our packing team wraps, boxes, and crates your belongings to handle nearly 2,000 miles of road. Available as full packing, fragile-only, or custom crating for high-value items.Â
NYC Storage Before Departure If your Texas place is not ready when you leave New York, Oz stores your belongings in our secure New York City facility. We hold them as long as you need and coordinate delivery to your Texas address when you are ready. Storage is available short-term or long-term.Â
Specialty Item Moving Pianos, fine art, antiques, and high-value electronics need more than standard moving blankets on a cross-country run. Oz has in-house specialists for items that require custom crating, climate-controlled handling, or white-glove care.Â
Certificate of Insurance (COI) Most New York City buildings require a COI naming the building as additionally insured before a moving truck is permitted in the building. Oz provides this as a standard part of every move.Â

Frequently Asked Questions: Moving from NYC to Texas
-
Transit time from New York City to Texas is typically 10 to 14 business days. Dallas and the DFW metro, Houston, and Austin generally fall in the 10 to 12 day range. San Antonio runs a day or two longer, and destinations in West Texas or the Panhandle can push to 13 to 14 business days. Your delivery window is confirmed at booking. If you need your belongings on a specific date rather than a window, Diamond Delivery is available as a premium option.
-
Cost depends on shipment size, the services you add, and your move date. Summer moves (May through September) see heavier demand and pricing reflects that. Oz provides a guaranteed flat fee before your move date — the number you are quoted is the number you pay, with no adjustments at delivery. The consolidated service tier is the most cost-effective option, where your shipment travels with others heading to the same region. For a specific estimate, get a free quote or call (212) 452-6683.

If your timeline is tight, call us — we can sometimes accommodate shorter windows depending on availability.
