TxDMV - Don't Make A MOVE Without Us!
The TxDMV licenses moving companies and provides consumer
protection information so you can make a smart move.
Texas law requires movers to give you:
• A written proposal or estimate that shows either a guaranteed price or
a “not to exceed” maximum amount for the move.
• A written contract before the move.
• Standard liability of 60 cents per pound per item. (Note: This is not
insurance. However, you have the right to obtain insurance to further
protect your items during the move.)
• A brochure that outlines your rights and responsibilities under Texas
law.
• A final copy of the contract upon completion of the move that
includes the total charges for the move; an itemized list of what the
charges are for; and the method used to calculate the charges.
If you decide to alter the original contract, you and the moving company
representative must sign and date an amended contract.
Always remember:
• If a moving deal seems too good to be true, it probably is.
• Never accept a verbal quote or agreement.
• Never hire an unlicensed mover. Texas movers must be licensed by the
TxDMV.
• Check the company’s license status by going to Moving Companies on
www.TxDMV.gov.
• Read the contract BEFORE signing it.
• If a truck shows up without the company name and a US DOT or
TxDMV number printed on it, be aware of the possible risk. (These
numbers verify it’s a licensed moving company.)
• If a mover attempts to hold your items hostage for additional payment
not in your contract or threatens to drive off with your belongings, call
your local police.
Charge disputes or damage claims must be filed with the mover within
90 days after the move date. The TxDMV advises consumers on claims
handling procedures, coordinates mediation, and responds to inquiries
and complaints.
More information is available at www.TxDMV.gov
or by calling
(888) 368-4689.
