If launched from Texas, would they have to move side to side to land the first stage in Florida?

my apologies for not be clearer, while the movement of the Earth is a concern I was replying to the idea of trying to land on a floating platform which I do not see as feasible. Both from the standpoint of trying to find such a small location to the fact it is not going to be a stable landing area because of wave action

Would an old oil rig work?
