Texas Permit Requirements & Compliance
Texas regulates manufactured home transport through the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles (TxDMV). Any manufactured home exceeding legal size limits requires a single-trip permit before it can move on public roads. Interstate Mobile Home Movers handles the full permitting process for every Texas move.
Texas Manufactured Housing Permit Checklist
- Single-trip permit: $40 per permit via TxPROS — valid for 5 days, one movement, origin to destination
- Double-wide: Each section requires its own separate permit
- USDOT number: Required — TxDMV verifies against FMCSA for out-of-service orders before issuing
- Liability insurance: $300,000 combined single limit minimum required
- Width over 8’6″: Oversize permit required for any load exceeding 8 feet 6 inches
- Escort vehicles: 1 escort required for loads over 14 ft wide; 2 escorts for loads over 16 ft wide
- Oversize load signs: “OVERSIZE LOAD” in black letters on yellow background required
- Amber beacon: Rotating or pulsating light with minimum 8-inch diameter
- Daytime movement only: Unless permit specifically authorizes nighttime travel
- Holiday restrictions: No transport on New Year’s Day, Memorial Day, July 4th, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, or Christmas
- Route obstructions: Permittee responsible for contacting utility companies to raise/lower overhead lines
We handle all of this for you. When you book with Interstate Mobile Home Movers, permit coordination, escort scheduling, route surveys, and utility coordination are included in your quote — not billed as extras.

Single-Wide Mobile Home Moving in Texas
Single-wide homes are the most commonly moved manufactured homes in Texas. These typically measure 14 to 18 feet wide and require a TxDMV single-trip permit plus at least one escort vehicle when the load exceeds 14 feet in width.
Our single-wide Texas services include:
- Home preparation and transport-ready inspection
- Skirting removal and utility disconnect coordination
- Transport axle installation
- TxDMV permit and escort coordination
- Delivery, placement, and leveling at the new site
Local single-wide moves within a Texas metro area can often be completed in a single day. Longer hauls — like Dallas to Houston or Austin to San Antonio — typically run 1–2 days depending on distance and permit timing. Get your single-wide quote.
Double-Wide Mobile Home Moving in Texas
Double-wide moves in Texas require splitting the home into two sections, each transported separately on its own trailer with its own TxDMV permit. Loads over 16 feet wide require two escort vehicles — front and rear.
Section Splitting
Professional separation of the two halves, including marriage wall disconnection and interior protection.
Dual Permits
Each half gets its own TxDMV single-trip permit ($40 each) with separate routes if needed.
Escort Coordination
Two escort vehicles per section for loads over 16 ft wide — we handle all scheduling.
Reassembly & Setup
Sections rejoined on-site, marriage wall sealed, leveling, blocking, and tie-downs completed.
Double-wide moves in Texas typically take 2–4 days depending on distance and site conditions. Get your free double-wide estimate.

Setup & Leveling Services in Texas
Whether your home just arrived at a new site or has been settling for years, our setup and leveling crews get it right. Texas soil conditions — especially the expansive clay soils common in Houston, Dallas, and San Antonio — can cause significant settling over time.

- Blocking, leveling, and pier adjustment
- Tie-down installation and inspection
- Skirting installation assistance
- Re-leveling for settled or shifted homes

Re-leveling is available as a standalone service or included as part of a full move package. Get a leveling estimate.
