If your employer is unwilling to stop withholding GA tax, after you move, you'll just have to file a GA non resident return, each year, to get a refund. It's a minor (usually) hassle, but you will not end up paying GA income tax for the days you physically work in TX.
There's no particular reason your Georgia employer can't process your payroll with no withholding (because you are living in Texas) unless they are simply stubborn, don't understand the law, or can't be bothered. As mentioned, the worst that would happen is you have Georgia income tax withheld and get a full refund of all those taxes when you file your Georgia non-resident tax return (or nearly a full refund, if you end up working a few days on site.) Not mentioned by my colleague, is that you could file a new Georgia withholding form to claim more exemptions and further reduce the withholding.
