if you can, start applying to jobs now. if that is not possible, then the first thing you will need is a place to live, as no one will hire you without an address, nor can you do anything else until you know where you live.
then get your license changed etc.
you sound sad, i dont know. there are a million things you are not saying, but i wish you so much luck. moving is not easy, living in a new place is not easy. just try to make it an adventure.

Wow so I can't relocate without job in Houston lined up for me?? That may take forever..
Is there any tricks...Could I possibly room with some1?
Once you're ready, start scouting for a place to take up shop even if short term. You can look into renting a room or an extended stay motel room, and this will prevent you from having to put a huge security deposit down. You can also get a PO Box established for mail and job seeking. You might want to hold off getting your license and tags switched over until you know you have a job - but, only do this if your current are not going to expire soon. Once expired, you'll have a bigger hassle getting a new one issued. You do not have to switch your ID and tags over "legally" until you know you'll be a resident of the state - short term room rental doesn't qualify.
If you do apply for jobs before going, you can include "I will be relocated to the area within XX days" so that employers know you're coming down on your own accord and not expecting them to pay relocation expenses.
I moved from MI to Cleveland on a shoelance and a prayer, and it can be done. It is a lot of work making such a long move.
Same here. Not the best way to do things but for us it was sink or swim.
I think that is the way with alot of ppl wanting to relocate these days you go where the jobs are and the milder winters . Good luck to everyone who is jumping around these days .
Get a job, and go where the job is. In this economy, I don't see any other choices.
