Shipping from Texas: what the location gives you

More than one in four of Texas’ estimated 31,709,821 residents live in Dallas-Fort Worth, and both big metros keep adding people: DFW, at 8.5 million, and metro Houston, at 7.9 million, each grew by more than 120,000 between 2024 and 2025.

For a warehouse in Dallas-Fort Worth, the draw is road reach: I-20, I-30, I-35 and I-45 all cross North Texas, a region that accounted for 30% of the state’s GDP in 2024. In Houston, it is the water: Port Houston’s public terminals handled a record 4,303,345 TEUs in 2025, and the Houston Ship Channel ranks first in the nation for waterborne tonnage.

Texas also leads every state in goods exports, at $450.3 billion in 2025. Its 32 official ports of entry handled more than $1 trillion in international trade in 2024. At the Mexican border, Port Laredo alone carried about $339.7 billion, 62% of the state’s land-border trade, and 2 of the 10 companies here run warehouses in Laredo.

What to ask before you sign with a Texas 3PL

  1. Would one Texas building cover my customers, or should I hold stock in both DFW and Houston?
  2. If my goods come in from Mexico, which crossing do you work through, Laredo or El Paso?
  3. Does your Texas site have temperature-controlled space, and at what range?
  4. How do you move my inventory between your Texas sites and your warehouses in other states?
  5. What does onboarding cost, and is there a monthly minimum fee?

Texas 3PL FAQ

What do Texas fulfillment companies charge?

Expect a custom quote: all 10 companies here set prices per account rather than posting a rate card. Ask each for receiving, storage, pick and pack and freight as separate lines so the quotes sit side by side.

Should my Texas warehouse be in Dallas-Fort Worth or Houston?

It depends on how your goods arrive: all 10 companies here have buildings in DFW, which has 4 interstates and 4 intermodal rail terminals, and 5 also run sites around Houston, home to the Houston Ship Channel, the nation's largest port by waterborne tonnage.

Which Texas 3PLs are headquartered in Texas?

2 of the 10: Cart.com and Crane Worldwide Logistics, both based in Houston. The other 8 run their Texas buildings from headquarters in other states.

Can a Texas 3PL handle bulky or oversized products?

2 of the 10 list bulky and heavy handling: Averitt Express, and NXTPoint Logistics, which adds white-glove, room-of-choice and threshold final-mile delivery.

Which Texas 3PLs connect to Shopify?

7 of the 10 name a Shopify integration: Productiv, Cart.com, Buske Logistics, Averitt Express, NXTPoint Logistics, ShipBob and Americold.
