Moving Company San Antonio is a referral service. By phone and through the request form on this site, it connects people in San Antonio, Texas with independent local moving companies. It does no moving of its own. It owns no trucks, employs no movers or packers, and does not hold a TxDMV certificate or federal motor carrier registration.
That is worth saying plainly, because moving is a regulated trade here. Texas requires every household goods mover operating in the state to hold an active certificate from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and movers that cross state lines have to be registered with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration. This site moves nothing, gives no estimates, takes no deposits or payments and books no shipments. It connects you with a mover, and everything after that is between the two of you.
Call and we connect you with an independent local mover. There is no charge to call.
How a call works
- You call the number on this site or send the request form. Either way, the request comes to us first.
- You describe the move: both addresses, the size of the home, the date you have in mind, and anything awkward such as stairs, an elevator or a base gate.
- We connect you with an independent moving company that works in the San Antonio area, so that the mover can take it from there with you.
- The mover decides how to follow up and prepares its own written proposal. The price, the schedule, the contract and any claim are matters between you and that mover, and you decide whether to hire it.

Why this site explains the rules
Rules protect the customer who knows them. In Texas a mover must give you a written proposal before loading that states the most you can be required to pay, and must release your goods at the destination if you pay that amount. A damage claim has to be filed within 90 days of delivery. Facts like these are set out on the moving company, local movers, long distance movers, packing services and cheap moving company pages. Where a price appears on this site, it is a published figure from a named source, not a quote.
Where the information comes from
The rules described on this site are taken from the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, the Texas Administrative Code, the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the Code of Federal Regulations, the military’s Personal Property Activity, Military OneSource and Joint Base San Antonio. Local figures come from the Census Bureau, the National Weather Service, the City of San Antonio, Bexar County, CPS Energy and San Antonio Water System. Cost figures are those of the publishers named beside them, with their dates. This site is not affiliated with any of these bodies. Because rules and fees change, check anything your move depends on with the agency concerned or with the mover. If you spot an error, tell us through the contact page.
Check any mover yourself
Do this for every mover, however you found it, including one we connect you with. For a move within Texas, ask for the TxDMV certificate number and search it in the department’s Truck Stop lookup. TxDMV’s brochure adds that its Enforcement Division can tell you about a mover’s complaint history, and the department’s contact page shows how to get in touch. For a move to another state, search the company in FMCSA’s mover search, which lists interstate movers and their complaint records.
What to check before you hire
An Active certificate status in Truck Stop, the company name and TxDMV number on the truck, a written proposal that states the maximum price, and a contract that states the mover’s liability. TxDMV’s advice is to read every document before you sign and not to rely on anything agreed only out loud.
Call, and once we have connected you with a mover, check its certificate before you sign anything.
Questions, answered
Does Moving Company San Antonio move anything itself?
No. This site is a referral service: it connects people in San Antonio with independent local movers. It does not move, pack or store household goods and holds no TxDMV certificate. Any proposal, contract, price and claim is agreed between you and the mover you choose to hire.
Is there a fee for calling or sending the form?
No. There is no charge to call or to send the request form, and no obligation to hire anyone. If you go ahead with a move, the price is the one on the mover’s written proposal.
Who answers when I call?
The call comes to Moving Company San Antonio, not to a moving company. We take the details of your move and connect you with an independent local mover. The same happens with the request form: it comes to us, and we pass it to a mover so that the mover can contact you.
Is a mover’s work backed by Moving Company San Antonio?
No. We neither carry out nor oversee any move, and no mover’s price, schedule or liability is set or backed by this site. Your protections are the ones in your contract and in Texas and federal rules, which is why the site explains them and tells you to check the mover’s certificate yourself.
How do I know the mover I am connected with holds a Texas license?
Ask for its TxDMV certificate number and look it up in the Truck Stop lookup on the TxDMV website. An Active status is what you want to see. TxDMV also says a mover’s trucks must show the company name, TxDMV certificate number and U.S. DOT number on both sides.
