As far as your original question, that is exactly how I moved to Texas. I had a Utah non-resident license and carried on that. Meanwhile, I took my training from Mr. Cotton and applied for a Texas non-resident license using my out of state address since my family did not move here until the end of the school year.

When we bought a house and moved here (yeah!), I simply filed a change of address on the Texas license and it automatically updated to become a Texas resident license instead of a non-resident license. Note that it costs $25 to change the address.

Utah has some unusual rules. If you are a non-resident and want to obtain a non-resident Utah license, and your state recognizes Utah non-resident licenses, then you must have a license from the state where you are a resident. For example, a Texas resident must have a Texas CHL before you can obtain a Utah non-resident license.

Now, since you already have a Utah non-resident license, I am not sure if when you change your address on the Utah license if they will require you to prove you have a Texas CHL before they will change the address or if the license becomes invalid since you won't have a Texas CHL yet. As for Texas, they will accept a valid Utah non-resident CHL, but only the Utah Criminal Bureau of Investigation who issues the license would be able to tell you if the Utah license stays valid.
