The most economical solution is to rent a tow bar and a pickup at a weekend rate. If you can put the transfer case in neutral and the transmission in park it could be towed to Houston without an issue. If the transfer case cannot be put in neutral, then disconnect the drive shafts at the differentials and tie them up to the bottom of the SUV. Keep the trans in park and tow to Houston. As long as the transmission is not turning over there is no issue towing with a tow bar. You will also need to have rear lights on the towed SUV.
If the motor turns over but will not start it seems doubtful that it needs a "new motor". You need to get it to Houston and it checked by someone who knows what they are doing. As already pointed out it can be sold as is or parted out.
