Head out vs leave

I think "head out" means going out for specific destination whereas "leave" doesn't have necessarily a purpose. Is it correct? If so (can I use "if so" instead of "if it is correct"), please give me an example of "leave" with destination with someone. Which one is more common if you want to mention the destination (I guess "head out")?

'Head out' does not suggest a destination unless it is named ('I'm heading out for Texas'). ' Use 'leave'.

'Head out' does not suggest a destination unless it is named ('I'm heading out for Texas'). 'Head out' is simply casual (sometimes jocular) for 'leave', and their grammar is the same: 'I'm leaving for Texas.' Use 'leave'.
