40% of Texas HQ relocations since 2020 came from California, including Oracle and Hewlett Packard Enterprise

Since 2020, more than 100 companies have relocated to Texas, with 40 per cent coming from California. Eight of the 10 Fortune 500 companies that moved to Texas in the last six years originated from California. Companies cite Texas' tax breaks, talent pipelines and business-friendly regulations as key drivers. Austin has emerged as a tech hub, often called 'Silicon Hills', rivalling California's Silicon Valley. Notable relocations include Charles Schwab moving from San Francisco to Westlake in 2019, Oracle shifting from Redwood City to Austin in 2020, and CBRE relocating from Los Angeles to Dallas in 2020. Hewlett Packard Enterprise moved from San Jose to Spring in 2020, whilst AECOM transferred from Los Angeles to Dallas in 2021. California continues to face the steepest net losses as Texas reshapes the corporate landscape.
