    Not sure , probably have to re-take the Haz-mat . You'll have to have a TWIC card , if you don't already . That's a hassle. Probably a new background check , as well. $$$
    you should be able to fall into something pretty easy , once you get there , IF you've got the TWIC .

    CDL is federal. Its valid in all 50 states. You will have to get a Texas license because your address changed (unless you keep an AZ address). Haz-Mat and tank (X endorsement) transfer as well.

    You probably have to get a year under your belt before you find a good job. All states you have to retake the written if you move into that state. A few like CA and IL you have to redo everything.
