About the metroplex
The Dallas–Fort Worth–Arlington metropolitan statistical area covers 11 counties: Collin, Dallas, Denton, Ellis, Hunt, Johnson, Kaufman, Parker, Rockwall, Tarrant and Wise. The 2020 census counted 7,637,387 people, which makes it the most populous metro in Texas and the fourth largest in the country. Dallas County alone had about 2.6 million residents, Tarrant County about 2.1 million and Collin County just over a million. The federal government splits the region into two divisions, Dallas–Plano–Irving and Fort Worth–Arlington–Grapevine, which roughly mirrors how people describe the east and west sides.
Interstate 35 splits in the region into I-35E through Dallas and I-35W through Fort Worth. Interstate 30 connects the two downtowns, and I-20 passes south of both. Around Dallas, I-635, the LBJ Freeway, forms a 37-mile partial loop from Balch Springs through Mesquite, Garland, Farmers Branch, Irving, Coppell and Grapevine, ending at SH 121 by the north entrance of Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport. Knowing which side of the metroplex you are moving to helps set the delivery schedule and the time of day the crew arrives.
Principal cities include Dallas, Fort Worth, Arlington, Plano, Irving, Denton, Richardson and Grapevine, and fast-growing places such as Frisco and McKinney rank among the region's larger cities. Housing runs from downtown towers and mid-rise apartments to large suburban homes in Collin and Denton counties. A tower move usually needs a certificate of insurance and a reserved freight elevator, while a suburban home may have HOA rules about trucks. Tera gathers those requirements during the estimate so delivery day goes to plan.
Reserve the freight elevator and loading dock at your new Dallas or Fort Worth building early, then send us the confirmed window.Tell us which side of the metroplex you are heading to, such as Collin County or Tarrant County, so delivery timing can be planned accurately.If your old and new leases do not line up, ask about storage by the night, the week or month-to-month.Shipping a second car to DFW? Tera can arrange door-to-door car transport through partner RunBuggyOne.

FAQ's
Answers to common questions about moving to or from the Dallas-Fort Worth area.
No. Tera Moving is based in Houston and serves the Dallas-Fort Worth metro area without claiming a local office or crew there. Estimates are free and handled by phone at 832-390-4839, by email, or through a virtual walkthrough, with a reply the same business day.
Yes. Moves between greater Houston and the metroplex, in either direction, are something Tera handles. Your quote explains whether the job is priced as a flat rate, and the written plan covers both addresses, building requirements and the delivery window.
On most long-distance moves, yes. Tera runs a dedicated single-truck move, so the crew that loads your home also unloads it. Belongings are not moved between trucks or held in a third-party warehouse, and you have a dispatcher's direct line throughout the haul.
Yes. Tera provides certificates of insurance for high-rises and managed buildings on request at no extra cost. Send the building's requirements early, along with the freight elevator and dock reservation, and the crew will plan the delivery around that window.
Released Value Protection at $0.60 per pound, per item, is included free on every move. Full Value Protection is available for an added cost if you want broader coverage. The lead mover also walks through with you before loading and after delivery.
