Re: Relocating From CA--->Texas Soon
You can take the TX class and get your non-resident license any time before you move. Once you have your TX DL, just change your address on your LTC and (I believe) DPS will send you a resident license with the new TX address.
Texas recognizes non-resident permits from all states, so, you can carry here with your UT or AZ non-resident permit. One caveat... If UT or AZ have some requirement for reporting new addresses that makes their license invalid until the address is updated, that may be a problem for Texas carry. I'm not familiar with UT or AZ address change processes. It's likely this is a non-problem, since your UT and AZ licenses are non-resident anyway and the address change should just be administrative, but, I recommend checking.
FYI... Here's the relevant TX information, all in one place. Link will open PDF file. LINK
This is my OPINION, not legal advice. I am not a lawyer.
ETA: If you read the linked PDF, you'll probably come across some language that makes it sound like there's a 6-month waiting period to apply for a resident license. That waiting period does not apply to people relocating to TX.

GC §411.173. NON-RESIDENT LICENSE.
(a) The department by rule shall establish a procedure for a person who meets the eligibility requirements of this subchapter other than the residency requirement established by Section 411.172(a)(1) to obtain a license under this subchapter if the person is a legal resident of another state or if the person relocates to this state with the intent to establish residency in this state.
