Movers in Flower Mound

TxDMV says every household goods mover operating in Texas, from van lines to a local crew with a trailer, needs an active certificate number. Unregistered moving for pay is a Class C misdemeanor that rises with repeat convictions. Warning signs TxDMV lists:

• A very low quote that climbs once your goods are on the truck.
• Only a cell phone and a vague name like "Movers".
• An unmarked or rental truck; registered trucks show the company name and TxDMV number on both sides.

Check the certificate on TxDMV's Truck Stop lookup before you pay any deposit, and match the name on the lookup to the name on the proposal and the truck. Texas-registered movers must also hold a federal number such as a USDOT number, and carry cargo coverage of at least $5,000 per load.

HomeGuide's national figures (November 2025): $900 to $2,800 for a local move of a 2- to 3-bedroom home under 50 miles, and $1,300 to $9,500 long-distance. Prices aren't regulated by TxDMV.

Your written proposal sets the most you can be charged, and the mover may not add charges after you sign the contract unless you both agree in writing. A descriptive inventory can be billed only if you agreed to it. Expect TxDMV's "Your Rights and Responsibilities" document before loading. Get the proposal after a walk-through, not over the phone, and point out the stairs, a long driveway or a gated entry, since anything left out can change the price. See our Texas movers guide for the full breakdown.

If something arrives damaged, put a claim in writing within 90 days. TxDMV can order a mover that broke the rules to refund you, and complaints go to TruckStop@TxDMV.gov or 1-888-368-4689.
