"I will say the only good thing about this company is the driver/head mover we had named Robert. The entire move was a complete disaster. Rent a U-Haul and move yourself before using this company."

Moving within vs moving out of Texas

Let's see how many people move within Texas versus those who moved from Lone Star State to another state.

Moved Within TX
43%
Moved out of TX
57%

Out of all residential moves in Texas - the second largest state in the United States, 43% of them have been local ones (within the state limits), with 57% being interstate moves to another U.S. state.

It takes a really good reason for Texans to want to move away from major cities like Houston, San Antonio, Dallas, and Austin (the state’s capital). If you yourself happen to be moving soon, either locally or cross-country, remember that your priority task is to select a professional moving company that’s both reputable and affordable.

Who regulates Texas local movers

By law, Texas moving companies must be licensed with the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles and must have acquired TxDMV Number (10 digits) to operate as a legitimate mover within the state. If you are looking for local Texas movers, check the Texas moving company regulations and make sure you work with registered ones.

Agency: Texas Department of Motor Vehicles
Address: 4000 Jackson Ave., Austin, TX 78731
Phone: (888) 368-4689
