Logistics
Texas:
A Logistics Powerhouse — With Heavy Compliance Requirements
Texas is one of the largest logistics hubs in the U.S., connecting coast-to-coast freight, border trade, and growing e-commerce demand. But success in logistics starts with a strong legal foundation.
Whether you're launching a trucking company, building a warehouse operation, or offering last-mile delivery, Texas law — and federal agencies — require specific business structures, registrations, and operational licenses. We help you navigate all of it, so you can move freight without getting buried in paperwork.
