Not a tax-driven move — here's what actually drives it

Texas and Florida both have no state income tax, so this route lacks the single dominant driver you see on New York-to-Florida or New Jersey-to-Florida moves. Job relocation, family ties, and climate or lifestyle preference between two large, growing Sun Belt states account for most of the volume instead.

Hurricane season on both ends

Both the Texas Gulf Coast and Florida sit in the Atlantic hurricane season's path, roughly June through November. If you're moving during this window, ask your carrier directly how they handle weather-related delays and rescheduling — it's relevant at both the origin and destination for this specific route, not just one end.
