Timing
When to Ship Mississippi to Texas
Gulf storms and big-city traffic set the timing.
Gulf Hurricane Season
From June through November, a storm on the Coast can push back pickups in Gulfport and Biloxi. We'll watch the forecast and plan around it.
Texas Gulf Storms
A storm near Houston or Freeport can also delay delivery. We'll plan around the forecast on both ends.
Houston and Dallas Traffic
Rush hour on I-10, I-45, and I-635 can add hours. Drivers time deliveries around it.
Fall and Spring
Usually the smoothest windows.
Pricing
How Much Does It Cost to Ship a Car From Mississippi to Texas?
Here's what decides the price on a trip to Texas.
Dallas vs. Houston vs. Central Texas
Dallas and Houston are about the same distance from Jackson. Austin and San Antonio add 165 to 200 miles.
Storage or Port Prep
Need your car held at our Freeport lot before it ships out of Port Freeport? We'll quote the storage along with the transport.
Pickup Location
Gulfport and Biloxi are already on I-10 for Houston. Jackson is best for Dallas.
Suburban HOAs
Many Houston and Dallas suburbs restrict big trucks.
Open or Enclosed
Open is standard. Enclosed is available for classics.
Busy Corridors
I-10 and I-20 carry a lot of trucks, which keeps availability good.

Before You Ship & After You Arrive
What to know before your car heads to Texas.
Registering in Texas
New residents have 30 days to register with their county tax office. Texas ended safety inspections for most passenger vehicles in 2025, but emissions testing still applies in the major metro counties. Check txdmv.gov for current requirements.
Vehicle Storage & Port Freeport
Need somewhere to keep your car, or shipping it overseas? We can store vehicles at our lot in Freeport, Texas, and get them ready to go to Port Freeport to be shipped.
Houston and Dallas Suburbs
Katy, Sugar Land, Frisco, and many newer neighborhoods have HOA truck rules. The driver will meet you at the entrance or a nearby lot.
Jackson Metro Pickups
Jackson, Ridgeland, Madison, Brandon, and Flowood sit right on I-55 and I-20, which makes pickups straightforward. Older Jackson neighborhoods like Fondren and Belhaven have narrow, tree-lined streets, and many suburban subdivisions restrict big trucks. If your street won't work, the driver will meet you at a lot near I-55 or I-20.
