YOUR COLORADO TO TEXAS MOVING TEAM

We move Colorado families to Texas every month, not once in a while. We know the stretch of I-25 South and US-287 that carries most of this route through the Panhandle, the fuel and rest stops that make sense on a 700 to 1,100 mile day, and how to time a Front Range pickup so you’re not fighting Denver traffic before you’ve even left the state. Elevation drops fast on this route too. You start above 5,000 feet in Colorado and land well under 1,000 feet by the time you reach Dallas, Austin, or Houston, so we plan around Texas heat and humidity on one end and mountain weather on the Colorado end, especially outside the warmer months. When you hire Skyline Moving, you are not getting a broker who hands your belongings off to a subcontractor. You are getting a Northern Colorado moving company that runs this corridor and stands behind the whole trip.

Packing & Unpacking

Ask about packing and unpacking if you’d rather not box up an entire household before a trip that can run over 1,000 miles. We use quality materials and careful labeling, so your things arrive in Texas ready to unpack, not sort through.

What Changes When You Move from Colorado to Texas

Climate

Colorado has real winters with snow and freezing temperatures. Texas winters are mild across most of the state, and summers run hot and humid, especially in Houston and San Antonio, with less of the dry heat you'd find in Denver.

Elevation

Denver sits around 5,280 feet. Dallas and Austin sit under 800 feet, and Houston is close to sea level, a shift some people notice in the first few weeks along with the added humidity.

Cost of living

Housing costs vary a lot by city, but much of Texas, particularly outside Austin's core, tends to run lower than Colorado's Front Range, and Texas has no state income tax.

Popular cities for Colorado transplants

Dallas-Fort Worth draws people who want a strong job market and a mix of suburban and urban options similar to the Denver metro. Austin appeals to people coming from Boulder or Fort Collins, with a similar outdoor and college-town culture. Houston tends to attract people looking for more space and lower housing costs. San Antonio and El Paso are common picks for people who want a shorter drive back to Colorado and a more affordable cost of living.

Colorado to Texas FAQs

Common Questions

Does Skyline Moving handle the full move, or just the Colorado portion?

We handle the entire move, from pickup in Northern Colorado through delivery in Texas. You get one point of contact and one crew for the whole trip.

How long does a Colorado to Texas move take?

Drive time ranges widely depending on your destination, from around 9 to 11 hours to El Paso up to 16 to 18 hours to Houston. A household move typically takes 1 to 3 days once you factor in load size, route conditions, and whether the crew needs to stop overnight along the way. We’ll give you a realistic pickup and delivery window before moving day, not just a drive-time estimate.

What Texas cities do you move to?

We regularly move households to Dallas, Fort Worth, Austin, Houston, San Antonio, and El Paso, along with surrounding areas.

How much does it cost to move from Colorado to Texas?

Cost depends on the size of your home, how much you’re moving, the distance to your specific Texas destination, and the time of year. Long-distance moves are typically priced by weight or truck space plus distance, rather than a flat hourly rate like a local move. Booking 4 to 6 weeks out, especially outside the busy summer season, tends to bring more availability and better pricing.

What's the best route from Colorado to Texas?

Most routes follow I-25 South before connecting to US-287 East toward Dallas and Fort Worth, or I-40 East through the Panhandle toward Austin, San Antonio, and Houston. Moves to El Paso stay on I-25 South the whole way.
