WHY TEXAS

The Upsides of Moving from Louisiana to Texas

✓

Zero State Income Tax. Texas taxes nothing on wages, while Louisiana applies a flat 3%. The rate you leave behind is already low, but zero is zero, and on a professional salary the difference is real money every year.

✓

A Job Market on Another Scale. Two Texas metros rank among the largest in the country, with energy, healthcare, aerospace, and logistics hiring at a pace Louisiana cannot match. The energy sector in particular absorbs Louisiana experience directly, often at higher pay.

✓

Higher Household Incomes. Texas median household income runs well above Louisiana’s $60,756, and the gap widens inside the big metros. For many families the raise is the reason for the move.

✓

The Culture Travels With You. Crawfish boils, Friday football, and Gulf fishing all exist on the far side of the border, and the eastern part of Texas has absorbed generations of Louisiana transplants. The landing is softer than most interstate moves.

✓

New Construction and Room to Grow. Texas builds housing at a pace few states approach, so inventory exists at more price points and newer suburbs keep opening. Finding a bigger home is usually a matter of choosing, not waiting.

CONSIDERATIONS

The Trade-Offs to Consider

✗

Housing and Property Taxes Both Rise. Texas’s median owner-occupied home value is $283,800 against Louisiana’s $216,500, and Texas property taxes near 1.4% run roughly triple Louisiana’s, which sit among the lowest anywhere. Run the full annual cost, not just the price.

✗

The Homestead Advantage Shrinks. Louisiana’s generous homestead exemption keeps many primary-residence tax bills tiny. Texas offers exemptions too, but the bills arrive larger, and school district levies vary sharply by suburb.

✗

Sprawl Replaces the Neighborhood Scale. Texas metros can span an hour of steady traffic end to end, and daily life runs on highways. Commutes, errands, and school runs all cover more ground than they did back home.

PRICING

How Much Does It Cost to Move from Louisiana to Texas?

The price reflects shipment size, actual mileage, access at both properties, moving date, and any packing or storage. A border-parish pickup headed to the nearest metro is a short run, while a move from the eastern parishes to the far side of Texas covers most of a day. For a straightforward long distance moving quote from LA to TX, we will survey your inventory and issue your flat-rate estimate.

MOVE SIZE	EST. COST
Studio	$1,000 – $2,000
1 Bedroom	$1,400 – $2,600
2 Bedrooms	$2,000 – $3,500
3 Bedrooms	$2,800 – $4,600
4 Bedrooms	$3,900 – $6,500
5 or More Bedrooms	$5,300 – $8,200+

These are planning ranges. Your surveyed inventory, route, and confirmed services determine the final rate.

POPULAR DESTINATIONS

Where to Call Home in Texas

Texas ranges from the classic Louisiana landing on the Gulf side to the corporate north, master-planned suburbs, and the border region itself. These are common landing spots for people arriving from Louisiana.

Houston. The classic Louisiana landing, close enough for weekend trips home, with the energy industry, the largest medical complex in the world, and a food scene where Cajun and Creole need no translation.

Beaumont and the Golden Triangle. Just over the border, this refinery and port region has absorbed Louisiana workers for a century, offering short moves, familiar culture, and low housing costs.

Dallas. The corporate center of North Texas, with banking, telecom, and headquarters employment for those trading the energy business for boardrooms, plus suburbs built for families.

Katy and Sugar Land. West of the big city, these master-planned communities pair top-rated schools and newer housing with energy-industry employers, a frequent choice for relocating families.

San Antonio. A slower pace, a large military presence, and the most affordable housing among the major metros, with a culture that feels closer to home than the bigger business hubs.

QUESTIONS

Louisiana to Texas Moving FAQs

Most one- to three-bedroom moves range from $1,400 to $4,600. Inventory, actual mileage, property access, date, and any packing or storage set the final figure. Request a free moving estimate to receive a flat rate based on your actual inventory.

Yes. Pack yourself, hand off the fragile rooms, or let the crew take the whole household, with crating available for artwork and electronics. Storage covers you when the new home is not ready.

It starts with a quick virtual walkthrough alongside your move manager, covering your belongings, both addresses, access conditions, and the date. You receive a binding flat-rate estimate in writing, and anything that changes before loading comes back as a revised estimate for your approval.

Frequently Asked Questions

View all

How do I get an estimate?

Choose whichever fits your schedule for a free quote or consultation.

✓Video walkthrough. A 15-minute video call, room by room. Most popular option.
✓Call us. 866-565-1516 speak with our friendly team.
✓Request a quote online. Send details and we’ll follow up.
✓Free in-person estimate. Available for homes with 2+ bedrooms.

Will my furniture be protected?

Yes. At Poseidon Moving, protecting your furniture is one of our highest priorities.

Every piece is carefully prepared before it’s moved. Our crews use heavy duty moving blankets, stretch wrap, floor protection, and proven loading techniques to help prevent scratches, dents, and shifting during transport.

If you have antiques, artwork, glass, marble, or other high-value items, we can recommend additional protection options such as custom crating or White Glove service.

Are there items you can't move?

Yes. For safety reasons, we cannot transport hazardous materials or certain restricted items. These are commonly referred to as “non-allowable items.”

This includes:

•Propane tanks, gasoline, kerosene, and lighter fluid
•Paint, aerosols, household cleaners, and other hazardous chemicals
•Fireworks, ammunition, matches, and charcoal
•Living things, including plants, fish, and pets

We recommend transporting these items yourself, using them before your move, or disposing of them safely according to local regulations.

Not sure about a specific item? Just ask your Move Coordinator before moving day, and we’ll be happy to let you know if it can be transported.

Can you take down TVs and wall-mounted items?

Yes. We can remove and reinstall many wall-mounted items as part of your move.

Our crews can typically dismount and reinstall:

✓Mounted TVs
✓Artwork and mirrors
✓Shelving
✓Window air conditioners

Some installations may require additional hardware, specialized tools, or extra time, so these services may incur an additional charge.

If you know you’ll need help with wall-mounted items, let your Move Coordinator know before moving day so we can arrive fully prepared.

How much will my move cost?

Every move is unique, so the most accurate pricing starts with a personalized estimate.

✓Local Moves – Pricing depends on the size of your move, the time required, travel time, and any additional services such as packing, storage, or specialty handling. Based on your move, we’ll recommend either hourly or flat-rate pricing.
✓Long-Distance Moves – We provide binding estimates based on your inventory, the distance, logistics, and any additional services you request.

Do you provide moving supplies and equipment?

Yes. Every Poseidon Moving truck arrives fully stocked with the supplies and equipment your move may need.

✓Heavy-duty moving pads, stretch wrap, and tape
✓Dollies, hand trucks, straps, and floor protection
✓Basic tools for disassembly and reassembly

If you’re not fully packed by moving day, let us know before your move date and we’ll make sure the crew brings the packing supplies you need – boxes, dish packs, wardrobe boxes, bubble wrap, mirror boxes, and TV boxes.
