Once the truck crosses the state line, federal rules apply: a written estimate after a survey, no more than 110% of a non-binding estimate collected at delivery, a choice of valuation, and a delivery window on the bill of lading. Binding vs non-binding estimates, valuation and who regulates movers cover each rule. Every long-distance mover in Texas is ranked on the state page.

Who moves out of Harris County

Houston is in Harris County, TX. In the Census Bureau's 2016–2020 survey, the county-to-county estimates add up to roughly 62,041 people a year leaving Harris County for another state, most often for California (about 5,481), Louisiana (about 5,469) and Colorado (about 4,028), while about 66,477 (±3,718) a year arrive from other states.

US Census Bureau, ACS 2016–2020 county-to-county migration flows; estimates are people a year with a 90% margin of error.

Before you book a Houston mover

Open the carrier's USDOT number on the federal record and check the name matches the company quoting you, get the estimate in writing after a survey, and pay little or nothing up front. The red flags and broker vs carrier explain why each check matters.
