Moving from Texas to Louisiana: What You Need to Know
Texas to Louisiana is one of the most common interstate moves in the region. Whether you're heading to Shreveport, Bossier City, or beyond, here's what you should know before your move.
Interstate vs. Intrastate Moving
A move from Texas to Louisiana (or vice versa) is considered an interstate move, which means your mover must be licensed by the FMCSA (Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration) with a valid USDOT number. Always verify your mover's licensing before signing a contract.

Louisiana-Specific Considerations
Louisiana has unique property types, including older homes and raised structures. Our team is familiar with these access challenges and plans accordingly. We also note that we do not provide local-only moves within Louisiana — only cross-state moves between Texas and Louisiana.
