Auburn sits about 895 miles east of San Marcos, which makes this an interstate relocation from Texas to Alabama that most movers classify as a long-distance move.
At this distance carriers price by shipment weight and mileage rather than by the hour. A two-bedroom home (around 5,000 lb of goods) typically costs $4,100 to $6,100 with a full-service mover, and delivery usually takes 2 to 5 days after pickup because long-haul trucks consolidate several households per trip. Driving it yourself takes about 16 h 8 min.
On the San Marcos side there are 94 household-goods carriers registered with the FMCSA in and around the city (22 of them authorized for interstate work), and 77 around Auburn (40 interstate). For an interstate move you can book from either end; movers near the origin handle loading and are usually the better first call, while a destination-side company can be useful if you need storage or delivery-day help in Auburn.
San Marcos has a population of about 72,000 and Auburn about 80,000. San Marcos is considerably denser (1,738 people per square mile versus 1,219), so expect tighter loading conditions, parking permits or elevator reservations at the origin and easier truck access at the destination. Labor and living costs run lower in Alabama than in Texas, which tends to make destination-side services such as unpacking or storage cheaper than the same services back home. Note that Alabama does collect a state income tax, unlike Texas, so factor that into the cost-of-living comparison.
