I desperately want to move out of this state, and I am working on getting temporary employment in California so I can save money to move. The biggest hurdle is having to get a job in Texas before I move. How can I do this with no Texas address, no Texas ID and no residency?
--EDIT--
I also have very little money. Just enough to afford the gas to get there. I am looking for odd-jobs and temporary work so I can save up about $1000

It's Texas just say "I'm a Californian desperately trying to get to the promised land" and you'll have a job in no time, some of those companies may even be willing to fit some of your moving expenses to help save someone from their socialist fate.

I thought revealing that you live in California was a bad thing to do, sir. Would I tailor my cover letter to mention that? What would be the best way to let a company know of my intentions to escape the Democratic Peoples Republic of Commiefornia?

My company is hiring here in San Antonio. We shuttle new trucks and load them onto railcars at the Toyota plant on the south side of town. Would be happy to help you get started in Texas!

I just sent you a connection request. I would love to work for your company. Coincidentally, San Antonio is exactly where I've been looking to move to and eventually live.

We're glad to have you in the Republic.
Just don't bring California politics with you and you'll be fine.
As far as seeking employment, there are PLENTY of jobs in Texas to look for with a GDP roughly equivalent to that of Australia. Also, I'm not sure about your service status, but if you are/were Guard I know that there are possibilities to transfer between states. My wife is a CPT in the MDARNG and she moved from Missouri in 2013 to transfer over there to be with me.
There are plenty of options available.
Good luck!
