Houston leads Texas in vehicle thefts — here are the models getting stolen the most Pickup trucks dominate the statewide top 10 list
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.
RECENT INCIDENT: One dead after crash that led to gunfire and three attempted carjackings across Houston
Kia and Hyundai — two manufacturers that have drawn national attention for theft vulnerabilities — also accounted for three spots in the top 10.
