Can I turn down a forced transfer and get unemployment?

I think I may be SOL but I wanted to check. I’m a contracted office manager who’s client location is being shut down. There are no other offices for this client within 200 miles and I have absolutely no interest in working at the other offices my employer contracts with locally. When this office is officially closed can I turn down a transfer to the same position at another location and still be eligible to collect unemployment? I’m in Texas. I’ve wanted to quit this job for a minute so if I can ride out the clock with a dwindling workload then collect unemployment while I look for something more suitable that’d be ideal.
