The people who quote your move are the people who drive it. Evolution is a licensed carrier, not a broker, so your load is never sold to an unknown hauler. The brothers who started the company still run it day to day. Pads, shrink wrap and furniture reassembly cost nothing extra. See how our long haul crews out of Dallas work across Texas.

Route Notes
Dallas to Houston Drive Plan for I-45
Almost the whole trip rides I-45 South. The truck clears the Dallas loops, passes Corsicana, then meets heavier Montgomery County traffic near Spring Cypress Road. The real choke point sits closer in. The 2025 Texas 100 list from TTI ranks the North Freeway stretch from the Sam Houston Tollway down to Loop 610 at number 21 statewide. So we either clear that stretch ahead of the evening rush or hold north until it fades. Our driver fuels up before leaving Dallas, so no stop lands inside Houston traffic.
Loading in Dallas follows city sanitation rules. Dallas Sanitation picks up bulky items once a month, and set-outs belong at the curb only from Thursday to Sunday before your collection week. A couch dragged out early can draw a citation, so we time your purge around that window. At the Houston end, homes in The Woodlands fall under Township standards that ban parking on lawns, ditches or grassy areas. Our crew keeps the truck on pavement and walks the longer carry instead of cutting across your yard.
Your walkthrough flags stairs, tight hallways and anything that needs a crate. We size the crew to the actual inventory and map where the truck will park at both addresses. One coordinator holds your file and answers your texts. Our Greenville Avenue moving team in Dallas then books a departure slot that fits your closing or lease date.
Before the Truck Rolls
- Haul extras to Fair Oaks Transfer Station
- Carry a Dallas water bill there
- Clear Woodlands driveways for the truck
- Fuel up near Corsicana if driving yourself
- Save NWS Houston alerts on your phone
- Send your Spring or Woodlands gate code
- Confirm what your relocation package covers
- Choose a dedicated truck for fixed dates
Tick these off during the two weeks before your load date.

How Much Does Moving from Dallas to Houston Cost?
Three things set this price: the pounds you ship, the crew needed to carry them, and whether one truck or two makes the trip. Stairs, long walks and packing add labor. After the walkthrough, that math becomes a ceiling in writing. Your final bill can land below it but cannot climb past it unless you add items.
| Home size | Est. weight | Crew | Typical range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Studio or 1 bedroom | 1,500 to 3,500 lbs | 2 movers, 1 truck | $1,700 to $1,900 |
| 2 to 3 bedrooms | 4,000 to 8,000 lbs | 3 movers, 1 truck | $1,900 to $2,100 |
| 4+ bedrooms | 9,000 to 13,000 lbs | 4 movers, 2 trucks | $2,100 to $2,600 |
Each range covers the crew, the truck, fuel, tolls and the full drive south to your Houston door. Card payments carry a 2.5% fee.

Leaving Dallas: Shed Bulk Early
Every pound rides on the price, so cut heavy extras first. Dallas Sanitation lets each home request up to 20 cubic yards of bulky pickup once a year. Fridges, freezers and window units that hold coolant do not qualify for curb collection, so book a recycler for those. Old dressers and patio sets can go out with the monthly pickup. Then your walkthrough prices only the furniture you truly want in Houston.
Settling into Houston: The Woodlands
The Woodlands Township is split into nine villages, each with its own design review committee, and Covenant Administration enforces the deed restrictions. Trailers and similar equipment cannot sit on a street for 48 hours or more. Tell us whether your driveway fits a long truck, how sharp the cul-de-sac turn is, and where the crew can stage furniture. Those answers let us pick the right truck before it leaves Dallas.
Energy Transfers to Houston Campuses
ExxonMobil runs its global headquarters from a 385-acre campus north of Houston that opened in 2014. Chevron announced on August 2, 2024, that its headquarters would leave San Ramon for Houston, with corporate functions following over five years. If your employer covers the move, send us the relocation policy. We shape the written quote around the line items your HR team will ask to see.
Gulf Storm Season and Your Load
NWS Houston/Galveston marks hurricane season from June 1 to November 30. Its storm guide warns that surge flooding can push far inland, depending on elevation. When a tropical system threatens the upper coast, we talk with you about shifting the date rather than driving into it. On the road, every piece rides padded and shrink-wrapped inside a closed box truck, so a passing downpour never touches your furniture.

Packing for the Drive South
Choose full packing, kitchen only, or fragile pieces only. Packers box dishes, frames and lamps the day before loading, so the truck leaves Dallas on schedule.

Dallas or Houston: What the Census Gap Means
Figures below come from the U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey for both cities.
| Measure | Dallas, TX | Houston, TX |
|---|---|---|
| Population | 1,307,930 | 2,328,253 |
| Median household income | $70,518 | $64,813 |
| Median home value | $320,700 | $277,800 |
| Average commute | 25.7 min | 27.2 min |
| Median age | 33.4 | 34.4 |
| State income tax | None | None |

Houston is the larger city by a wide margin, yet homes there tend to cost less than in Dallas. For a family moving on a corporate package, that gap can buy more space for the same budget. Household incomes also run a bit lower in Houston, so check whether your new salary was set for the local market. Commutes run slightly longer there, which makes living near your campus worth weighing.
One cost the table skips is the extra tax layer in The Woodlands. The Township collects its own property tax, plus sales and hotel taxes, and sets the rate each year in its budget. Read the Woodlands Township finance page and add that line to your housing math before you sign a contract there.
Houston Realities to Plan Around
- Chevron already employs about 7,000 people across the Houston area.
- ExxonMobil's campus sits in City Place, the area once called Springwoods Village.
- Woodlands trash carts may go to the curb only the day before pickup.
- Chevron's move made it the 24th Fortune 500 headquarters in Houston.

5
Unload in Houston
At your new Houston or Woodlands address, the crew sets each piece in its labeled room, rebuilds beds and tables, then walks the house with you before leaving.

Lorenzo and Michael did a great job moving my apartment from Dallas to Houston. They handled the bulky, heavy items with care, and were very fast. The move was done for the low end of the estimate as well. I would definitely hire them again!

We booked evolution for a major move from Dallas to Houston and it went very well. Great communication throughout is a hallmark of this company. From Tom clearly walking us through the process to the moving team led by Cedric - the team communicated promptly and effectively throughout the process. The moving team was quick, diligent and efficient throughout the process.
