Moving Companies in Hico, TX
Hico doesn't have a moving company physically based in town, so crews typically drive in from Stephenville, Weatherford, Waco, or the Dallas-Fort Worth area -- expect a travel or trip fee for that commute, and ask whether the hourly clock starts when they leave their base rather than when they reach your door. That commute alone can add 1.5 to 3 hours of billable time if crews are coming from 45 to 90 minutes away.
Local hourly rates run $100 to $200 combined for a two-person crew and truck. A studio or one-bedroom typically totals $300 to $600 over two to four hours, while a three-bedroom home runs $1,000 to $1,800 over six to nine hours. Long-distance moves within Texas are priced by weight and distance instead, generally $900 to $5,000 or more. Renting a truck yourself costs $59 to $129 for local use plus fuel, and you can pair that with hourly labor help to load and unload.
Push for a binding not-to-exceed estimate rather than a phone guess, and flag any gravel or caliche driveway ahead of time -- a loaded moving truck can struggle on rural roads and may need a shuttle vehicle.

How this works: IRS SOI County-to-County Migration Data, 2022-2023. The IRS compares the address on consecutive tax returns, so every move here is a real filed household. The catch: it publishes annually with about a two-year lag, counts Hamilton County rather than city limits exactly, misses people who don't file a return, and leaves 75% of moves unattributed to a specific county, because flows too small to publish are grouped into regional buckets instead.
