Every pair of Texas cities we cover, nearest first. Under 100 miles the job is billed by the hour; past it, on distance and weight. All of them are regulated by Texas, not the FMCSA.

Texas moving routes FAQ
How much does it cost to move within Texas?
Across town it is hourly: about $40 to $50 per mover per hour plus around $75 travel, which puts a two-bedroom home at $475 – $775. Between Texas cities we price 120 pairs, from Dallas to Irving at about 13 miles ($475 – $775 for two bedrooms) to El Paso to Houston at about 786 miles ($3,537 – $4,716).
How much does it cost to move out of Texas?
It depends almost entirely on distance. From our model a two-bedroom home is $2,250 – $3,000 at 500 miles, $4,500 – $6,000 at 1,000 and $9,000 – $12,000 at 2,000, with full-service movers. The nearest state by main city is Louisiana at about 370 miles; the farthest is Hawaii at about 4,541. Every Texas-to-state page prices the exact pair.
Is a move inside Texas regulated the same way as one that leaves it?
No. A move that stays inside Texas is regulated by the state: what the mover must hold, how it may estimate and what valuation it must offer are set at state level. The moment the truck crosses a state line the FMCSA's rules apply — active interstate authority, a written estimate before loading, the 110% cap on non-binding estimates and an arbitration programme. Ask which set applies before you compare quotes.
How many licensed movers are based in Texas?
2,438 household-goods carriers based in Texas are active on the FMCSA register (pulled 2026-09-23). We list the largest by fleet with USDOT and MC numbers so you can read a safety record before you call.
