Houston ranks among the top Texas cities in many ways, but the state’s largest city recently earned a distinction that’s far from flattering: it led the state in stolen vehicles last month.
The Texas Motor Vehicle Crime Prevention Authority released new data ranking vehicle thefts from Nov. 1 through Nov. 30, 2025. Houston topped the list, followed by Dallas, San Antonio, Austin and Fort Worth.
Pickup trucks dominated the statewide rankings, representing four of the six most-stolen models.
