Movers in Lewisville

Transportation Code Chapter 643 makes moving household goods for pay without TxDMV registration a Class C misdemeanor. Look up the company on TxDMV's Truck Stop: "Active" means licensed. TxDMV's Enforcement Division can tell you a mover's complaint history at 1-888-368-4689.

Look at the truck and the ad too. Trucks must show the company name and TxDMV number on both sides, and print ads must show a "TxDMV No." and a Texas street address. TxDMV warns that unlicensed movers often quote very low, raise the price once goods are loaded, and use only cell phones and vague names. A move that leaves Texas falls under FMCSA instead, at protectyourmove.gov.

HomeGuide's national figures (November 2025) put a local move under 50 miles for a 2- to 3-bedroom home at $900 to $2,800, with movers at $50 to $100 or more per mover per hour and a 3- to 5-hour minimum. TxDMV doesn't regulate movers' prices, so shop around.

Before loading, a Texas mover must give you a written proposal with the maximum you could pay. It is either binding, an exact price, or not-to-exceed, a ceiling the mover can come in under. List every item and mention stairs or long carries, and be ready to pay the maximum at delivery. Liability is negotiable: at 60 cents per pound per item, a lost 50-pound TV brings back $30, so ask about transit insurance before the truck is loaded. The full cost table is on our Texas movers guide.
