My official address is what the PO has on file, and that's how I know where my polling location is. I'm not sure about Texas, but I'd think as long as the PO has your new address, and you register successfully, you should be fine.

Edited to add: I moved at the end of October and didn't vote until the following year, so it's possible that I had a year for all the databases to sync up
