Texas is the largest state on this page and the one that most resembles Nevada on tax: no personal income tax, a sales tax instead. The agencies below set the deadlines. ## Thirty days for the car, ninety for the license The Texas Department of Motor Vehicles tells new residents they have 30 days from the time they move to register their vehicle in the state. The same page says a new resident must obtain a Texas driver license from the Department of Public Safety within 90 days, so the two clocks run on different schedules. Service members have their own rules on the TxDMV military page. Everyone else should treat the car as the earlier task and plan the license inside the three-month window. Write both dates on the same calendar the day you sign the estimate, because a long-distance move leaves little slack once the truck is loaded. ## Sales tax in place of income tax Texas has no state income tax according to the Comptroller. The state has a franchise tax on businesses, which matters to an owner relocating a company but not to a wage earner. The state sales and use tax is 6.25 percent on most retail sales, leases and rentals, and local jurisdictions may add up to 2 percent, for a combined maximum of 8.25 percent. Nevada's statewide minimum is 6.85 percent. ## Booking a move across the Southwest The [Texas routes page](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/long-distance-moving/routes/texas/) covers the roads between Northern Nevada and the major metros. You book with O'Brien's; an estimator makes the itemized written estimate at home, and the Bekins network carries the shipment. Your written estimate sets the delivery window. Texas summers are long, so ask your estimator about wrapping electronics and wood furniture for the trip. ## A job transfer or a business move If an employer is paying, read about [employee relocation](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/employee-relocation/), and if a business is moving, [commercial moving](https://obriensmoving-storage.com/commercial-moving/). Between closings, wooden vault storage in Sparks starts from $40 per month and ships with about 2 to 3 weeks notice. The estimator leaves 10 free heavy-duty boxes. ### Sources (checked October 18, 2026) - [Texas DMV, new to Texas](https://www.txdmv.gov/motorists/new-to-texas) - [Texas Comptroller, small business information](https://comptroller.texas.gov/economy/fiscal-notes/industry/2025/small-biz-info/) - [Texas Comptroller, sales and use tax](https://comptroller.texas.gov/taxes/sales/) ### Licensed movers U.S. DOT No. 30611 MC-109375 Nevada CPCN 1070 Cal PUC T-90973 (as published by O'Brien's) Bekins Van Lines interstate agent since 1955 [Check our USDOT record](https://safer.fmcsa.dot.gov/query.asp?searchtype=ANY&query_type=queryCarrierSnapshot&query_param=USDOT&query_string=30611) · [Ready to Move?
