In short
Cobra Piano Moving (USDOT 3144674) is a household-goods carrier licensed for moves within Texas, based in Niederwald, TX and registered since 2018. Its filing lists 1 truck and 2 drivers. It has no FMCSA safety rating. It had no roadside inspection in the last 24 months, so there is no inspection record either way.
Is Cobra Piano Moving licensed?
Cobra Piano Moving is registered with the FMCSA (USDOT 3144674) as an intrastate carrier: it may move you within Texas, but a move across a state line would have to go through a carrier holding interstate authority, often a van line the company works for as an agent. Ask whose USDOT number would be on the bill of lading.
It has no safety rating on record in 8 years of registration (since 2018): a rating comes only from an FMCSA compliance review, and none is on file. That is not a mark against Cobra Piano Moving, and not a mark for it.
The filing reports 1 truck and 2 drivers, and the registration dates from 2018.

Ask for Niederwald references
With no roadside inspection on file for the last 24 months, the federal record says nothing about Cobra Piano Moving's trucks either way. Two recent customers in or near Niederwald you can call will tell you more than the register can.
