Moving out of Texas: what the data shows
216 of 289 Texas moving companies (74.7%) hold interstate operating authority, compared to 82.4% across the 3,185 movers GoodMigrations tracks nationally. Any company moving your household across a state line needs that authority and a USDOT number, which you can verify yourself through the FMCSA company snapshot tool.
56 Texas movers (19.4%) offer full valuation coverage, against 29.2% nationally. The alternative is released-value protection, which every interstate mover must offer at no charge and which pays 60 cents per pound per article. On that basis a 50 pound item worth $1,500 settles for $30.
79.9% of the Texas movers GoodMigrations tracks offer storage in transit, which matters on long routes where your delivery window and your lease dates do not line up.
Local moves inside Texas average $103 per hour for a crew, which is billed by time. Interstate moves are priced on shipment weight and distance instead, so an hourly rate is not a useful benchmark once you cross a state line.
Licensing rules for movers in Texas
In-state movers operating in the Lone Star State are legally required to be licensed by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TXDMV), which issues 10-digit TXDMV numbers to commercial carriers.
The Southwest Movers Association is the state industry body for Texas movers. State registration status can be checked directly at the Texas regulator.
