Steps
Go to the Texas Truck Stop search tool at apps.txdmv.gov/apps/mccs/truckstop/.
Search using the company name, TxDMV number, or USDOT number provided by the mover.
Confirm the certificate status shows 'Active' — Texas requires any motor carrier transporting household goods for pay to hold a TxDMV number regardless of vehicle weight.
If the company can't be found, ask the mover directly for its TxDMV certificate number and re-run the search with that exact number.
Use the tool's 'certificates inactivated in the past 60 days' map/list to check for recent revocations before finalizing a booking.
Known gotchas
Texas requires a TxDMV number for household-goods carriers independent of, and in addition to, any federal USDOT/MC authority — a mover can be FMCSA-registered but not TxDMV-licensed for in-state Texas moves.
To file a complaint about a Texas mover instead of just checking licensing, use TxDMV's separate Complaint Management System or call (888) 368-4689, not the Truck Stop lookup tool.
