Call the City of Irving to start water service and to ask how to put out boxes and old furniture after the move.

A move that crosses state lines is regulated by the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, not TxDMV, and FMCSA's consumer site is protectyourmove.gov.

TxDMV doesn't set mover prices. HomeGuide's national figures (November 2025) put a local move of under 50 miles for a 2- to 3-bedroom home at $900 to $2,800, with $50 to $100 or more per mover per hour and a 3- to 5-hour minimum. Long-distance moves of the same size run $1,300 to $9,500.

Before loading, a Texas mover must give you a written proposal with the maximum you could owe. It's either binding, at an exact price, or not-to-exceed, a ceiling that still lets the mover charge less. TxDMV warns that unlicensed movers often quote very low, then raise the price once goods are loaded, and may use only cell phones and vague names like "Movers." The Texas movers guide has more.

TxDMV's brochure is clear that a local crew with one truck and trailer needs the same active TxDMV certificate number as a national van line. Look it up on TxDMV's Truck Stop, where "Active" means licensed, and check that print ads show "TxDMV No." with the number. Texas-registered movers must also hold a federal number such as a USDOT number.

Insurance and claims after an Irving move

Texas household goods carriers must carry at least $5,000 of cargo coverage per shipper's load and $10,000 per vehicle. Your own protection depends on the liability level you agree; at 60 cents per pound, a lost 50-pound TV pays $30. Damage or overcharge claims go to the mover in writing within 90 days of delivery. The mover has 23 days to acknowledge, 30 to inspect and 90 to pay, deny or offer a settlement. Since September 1, 2019, TxDMV can order refunds from movers that break the rules; complaints go to 1-888-368-4689.
