ON RECORD
Not in FMCSA's interstate mover registry — no complaint history is published
USDOT 1950366 does not appear in FMCSA's Protect Your Move household-goods mover registry, so the National Consumer Complaint Database history is not published for it. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate movers only.

What kind of company is this?

Carrier

The captured federal record lists a carrier role. This alone does not establish current interstate household-goods authority or guarantee who will perform your move.

Intrastate operation reported

The captured federal record reports in-state operation. This is a declared operating scope, not verification of a state license. See the separate licensing checks.

23+ years online

How long this company’s website has existed, from Internet Archive records. Very new websites are a common scam signal.

7 trucks on file

Fleet size reported in federal filings.

What we checked

2 passed2 failed

Federal operating authority (FMCSA)
No active federal authority captured. Observed Oct 15, 2026. Carrier, broker and freight-forwarder authority are separate categories. This federal result does not determine its eligibility for in-state moves; see the separate state-registry check.
Federal interstate household-goods carrier authority
The captured FMCSA record does not show interstate household-goods carrier authority. Observed Oct 15, 2026. This does not rule out separate broker authority; see the category-specific federal dockets. It does not determine eligibility for in-state moves or another operating carrier.
State household-goods licence
Texas DMV (TxDMV) motor-carrier registry lists an active motor carrier certificate 006297667, valid through Jun 30, 2027 (checked Oct 13, 2026).
Federal insurance status
We do not have a consistent, dated insurance amount observation matched to this company’s USDOT. This is a verification gap, not a finding that the company is uninsured.
Review ratings compared across sources
BBB has only 1 review, too few to compare with Google's 1161; star ratings differ by 3.8 stars.
Address and operating-location evidence
Property use and a customer-accessible operating facility have not been established. A registered address, mailing address and local office can serve different purposes.
Claimed reviews matches verified records
atisfied customers have to say about us! EXCELLENT Based on 1135 reviews Posted on Google Laura GP Trustindex verifies t on website matches Google shows 1,161 reviews (checked Oct 14, 2026) from Google listing matched to this business.

Address use and operating locations

A registered office, mailing address and operating facility can be different places. Residential or mailbox use alone does not establish improper operation.

No current source-backed property-use determination is available. This is a verification gap, not proof of a false address or a verified operating facility.

FMCSA regulatory snapshot

Authority status What does this mean? Federal operating authority is category-specific: carrier, broker and freight-forwarder roles are separate. An active registration or one active role does not establish household-goods carrier authority. Operating restrictions are checked separately.: No active federal authority capturedObserved Oct 15, 2026
Carrier operation What does this mean? This carrier is registered to operate only within one state. Federal interstate authority does not apply to intrastate-only carriers, which is why federal insurance and authority status fields may show as "Not Specified" or "Not Authorized.": Intrastate Only (Non-hazardous materials)
Interstate HHG carrier authority What does this mean? "HHG" means Household Goods. This field checks interstate carrier authority, not separate broker authority. A "No" here does not rule out broker authority; consult the category-specific federal dockets below.: No — not shown in the captured recordObserved Oct 15, 2026
Operating status What does this mean? This means the company's USDOT registration is active in the FMCSA database. It does NOT mean the company is authorized to operate as a federal interstate mover. See "Authority status" above for that. A carrier can have an ACTIVE USDOT registration but still not be authorized to do interstate moves.: ACTIVE
Trucks What does this mean? FMCSA calls these "power units", meaning trucks, tractors, and other registered moving vehicles the carrier owns or leases.: 7
Drivers What does this mean? Drivers the carrier has registered with FMCSA. This is the official number; some carriers operate with more drivers than registered.: 7
Insurance status: —
Safety rating What does this mean? FMCSA only assigns a safety rating after conducting a Compliance Review (a formal on-site audit). Most carriers have never been audited. About 90% of registered carriers carry no rating. "Not rated" is normal; it does not mean the carrier failed an audit or is unsafe. It only means an audit has not happened.: Not rated
DOT complaints (FMCSA): We could not verify complaints for this companyNot listed in FMCSA's Protect Your Move mover registry, so no NCCDB complaint history is published for this USDOT number. FMCSA keeps that history for registered interstate household-goods movers only. This is not a clean record — it is an unknown one. Check FMCSA's mover search yourself before you book.
FMCSA enforcement & investigations: No enforcement cases (six years) · SMS record
Physical address: 304 VELVET ST, LEAGUE CITY, TX 77573

State household-goods licence

In-state moves are governed by the state, not the FMCSA. This is what Texas DMV (TxDMV) motor-carrier registry shows as of Oct 13, 2026.

State business entity record

Texas Comptroller Franchise Tax Account Status · checked Oct 9, 2026. A business-entity registration is separate from federal moving authority and from a state mover licence.

Entity name: CLEAR LAKE MOVERS, INC.
Status: ACTIVE
Entity ID: 0800306972
Formation date: Feb 20, 2004

Limitation: Business registration is not a mover licence.
Limitation: The register does not display an entity-type field on the record page, so entity_type is null.
Limitation: The record labels 02/20/2004 as the Effective SOS Registration Date rather than explicitly calling it a formation date; it is reported in formation_date because it is the register's registration date.
Limitation: The record displays a mailing address and a separate registered-office address, but no separately labeled principal address; address contains the mailing address.
Limitation: The exact query CLEAR LAKE MOVERS INC returned no rows, while the partial query Clear Lake Movers returned one row (1 total). Searches of the supplied descriptive fragments About Your Move, SMS communications, and By opting in returned no target-name match; SMS communications also returned an unrela

No verified customer reports yet. Only customers who can document their move may submit one — that keeps the count honest, and it means it grows slowly.
