Century Moving Services provides reliable long-distance moving from New Jersey to Texas. Whether you're relocating to Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio, or Fort Worth, our FMCSA-licensed team delivers your belongings safely across 1,500+ miles with guaranteed pricing and professional care.
Texas has become one of the top relocation destinations for New Jersey residents, driven by lower cost of living, no state income tax, a booming job market, and affordable housing. Century Moving Services has seen NJ-to-Texas move volume increase significantly year over year, and our long-distance moving services are optimized for this popular corridor. With approximately 1,500–1,800 miles between New Jersey and major Texas metros, this route demands experienced logistics, proper licensing, and reliable delivery timelines.
We coordinate NJ-to-Texas departures from all major New Jersey counties — Bergen County, Hudson County, Essex County, Passaic County, and Morris County — with pickups available across 228+ New Jersey communities. Every Texas-bound shipment includes a dedicated move coordinator, professional packing services with premium materials, real-time GPS tracking, and full cargo insurance from pickup to delivery at your new Texas home.
The primary route from New Jersey to Texas follows Interstate 95 south to Interstate 81, connecting to Interstate 40 west through Virginia, Tennessee, and Arkansas before dropping south into Texas — or via Interstate 78 to Interstate 81 to Interstate 40 for a more direct western approach. For Houston-bound shipments, our drivers typically use I-95 south to I-85 through the Carolinas and Georgia, connecting to I-10 west through Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana. Transit time averages 5–8 business days depending on your specific Texas destination. Houston and Dallas/Fort Worth are the fastest deliveries; Austin and San Antonio add a day from the eastern entry points. Century Moving Services uses our climate-controlled storage solutions for clients who need temporary warehousing between New Jersey departure and Texas arrival.
Long-distance moves from New Jersey to Texas typically range from $3,000–$9,000, positioning this route in the mid-range for interstate relocations. Unlike local moving services in New Jersey, Texas-bound moves are priced under federal FMCSA regulations based on shipment weight and distance. Century Moving Services provides binding estimates — the price we quote is the price you pay, with zero hidden fees or delivery-day surprises.
Total household weight is the primary cost factor. A 2BR apartment typically weighs 3,000–5,000 lbs; a 4BR home averages 10,000–14,000 lbs.
Houston and Dallas are closer (shorter transit) and slightly less expensive than Austin, San Antonio, or West Texas destinations.
Professional packing adds $500–$2,000+ depending on home size. Our professional packing services significantly reduce damage risk over 1,500+ miles.
Summer is peak season. Texas also sees high demand in January–March as companies execute employee relocations for the new fiscal year.
Texas properties often have easier truck access than NJ urban areas, which can reduce labor costs. However, gated communities and high-rise condos in Houston and Dallas may require additional coordination.
Car shipping can be coordinated alongside your household move for a streamlined cross-state relocation.
Our most popular Texas destinations from New Jersey include Houston (the most common, including Katy, Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Pearland), Dallas and Fort Worth (including Plano, Frisco, Arlington, and McKinney), Austin (including Round Rock, Cedar Park, and Georgetown), and San Antonio (including New Braunfels and Boerne). We also serve El Paso, Corpus Christi, Laredo, Lubbock, and every Texas metro and suburban community. Whether you're moving to a downtown Houston high-rise or a ranch property outside Austin, our teams handle every type of Texas delivery.
The NJ-to-Texas corridor is our second most popular long-distance route after Florida, and Century Moving Services has refined our logistics for this route over 25+ years of operations. Our commercial moving services division also handles corporate relocations for employees moving from NJ offices to Texas headquarters — a growing demand driven by major companies expanding in Dallas, Houston, and Austin. Every move is protected by full federal authority: USDOT #1336680, MC #515686, and NJ License 39PC 00115000.
