After California, Texas is where more people leaving Arizona settle than anywhere else, and the run is busiest in May and June, with the months on the chart further down. The paperwork is where Arizona is unusual. The state keeps titles electronically now, so most owners have nothing on paper to hand to a Texas county, and Texas has a box on its form for exactly that.
A Texas county tax office will register an Arizona car on its Arizona registration receipt, without the title. The box to tick on the Texas application is “Registration Purposes Only”, which tells the county you’re keeping the old title for now, and nothing more is asked about it. You get Texas plates and no Texas title. The Arizona title stays where it is, on ADOT’s books.
A Texas title is the step that needs paper. The county takes the Arizona title in exchange for it, and a copy won’t do, so an Arizona owner orders one first. ADOT prints it through the Title Replacement service on AZ MVD Now for $4, while the same request by mail takes up to six weeks. A paid-off loan changes nothing here. The title the lender releases stays electronic, so it’s the same $4 order.
Rates for moving a car from Arizona to Texas run highest in May and June, about 7% above their yearly norm, and lowest from January to March, around 14% below.

A car going from Arizona to Texas is usually delivered 3 to 5 days after pickup. Phoenix to Austin covers about 1,010 miles and Phoenix to Houston about 1,180, so Houston sits at the far end of that range.
Wash the car so its condition is easy to record, photograph it from each corner, and leave about a quarter tank of fuel. Take out anything above the 100 pound personal item allowance, and take your toll transponder such as FasTrak, E-ZPass or SunPass off the windshield, because toll gantries can read it while the car rides the truck. Have a working key ready for the driver.
The deposit is charged 7 days before your pickup window opens; for a pickup inside 7 days it is held on your card at booking and charged when your driver is confirmed. The remaining balance is paid to the driver at delivery.
One to two weeks ahead is enough on most routes. Busy corridors handle shorter notice, and quieter lanes benefit from the full two weeks. Booking earlier does not lower the price; it settles your dates sooner, and the price holds for 28 days either way.
You can leave up to 100 pounds of personal items in one piece of luggage, placed in the trunk or cargo area. Some carriers will accept additional weight for an added fee; we can arrange this for you after booking.
The truck waits until the road is safe to drive, and your pickup or delivery date moves with it. We'll confirm the driver's new window with you as soon as the road reopens. Snow on the mountain passes and in the northern states, and hurricanes along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts, are the usual causes.
Every shipment is insured by the carrier under federal cargo liability requirements.
