Moving from Louisiana to Texas means crossing state lines, so any mover you hire must hold active interstate authority from the FMCSA. Between the largest cities of the two states—New Orleans and Houston—the road distance is about 386 miles, which puts a typical move in the regional long-distance move bracket with a delivery window of 1 to 3 days.
Louisiana has about 4.7 million residents and Texas about 29.1 million. Cost levels in the two states are broadly similar. Texas has no state income tax on wages, while Louisiana does.
