The San Antonio & Hill Country → Wichita Falls corridor
Every San Antonio-to-Wichita Falls load begins on I-35 North, and the Hill Country feeds into it from the west before the highway ever leaves the metro. A pickup in Stone Oak, Alamo Heights, or downtown San Antonio rolls straight onto the interstate; a Kerrville or Comfort household comes in on I-10, Boerne and Fair Oaks Ranch cut over on TX-46, and a Fredericksburg move drops down US-87 to catch the same lane. From there it is one continuous climb north out of the Balcones country — New Braunfels, San Marcos, the slow grind through Austin and Round Rock, then Georgetown, Temple, Belton, and Waco before West and Hillsboro. That is why a "Kerrville to Wichita Falls" or "Boerne to Wichita Falls" quote is the identical haul described here; only the driveway where we load is different.
The stretch that makes this route its own begins past Fort Worth. Rather than stopping in the Metroplex, we hand off I-35W to US-287 and strike northwest into the Cross Timbers, where the blackland prairie gives way to the mesquite, wheat fields, red dirt, and nodding pumpjacks of the Rolling Plains. US-287 is a divided four-lane, but it threads working towns — Rhome, Decatur, Alvord, Bowie, Bellevue — with reduced-speed zones and the occasional light, so the final ninety miles run a touch steadier than open interstate before the land flattens toward the Red River and Wichita Falls comes up on the horizon. At roughly 330 miles, plan on about five and a half to six and a half hours of drive time with a loaded truck; we stage an early departure to clear the Austin corridor and make the US-287 turn with daylight to spare, then load, run, and unload in a single day with everything padded and blanket-wrapped for the ride.

Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Wichita Falls, TX
Wichita Falls sits in North Texas where the Wichita River bends toward the Red River and the Oklahoma line, a city of a little over 100,000 and the seat of Wichita County. Its namesake falls were washed out by an 1886 flood and stayed gone for a century until the city built a new 54-foot cascade in Lucy Park in 1987, now a familiar sight from I-44. Downtown has been steadily coming back around Depot Square, the Kemp Center for the Arts, and the brick storefronts of the Ohio Avenue historic district, while older residential neighborhoods like Floral Heights show off restored early-1900s homes. Family life clusters in Faith Village and Tanglewood and along Southwest Parkway near the country club, and the roughly 24-mile Circle Trail loops the whole city past Lake Wichita. If the town has a signature, it may be the Hotter'N Hell Hundred every August, one of the largest century bike rides in the country, run in exactly the heat the name promises.
The economy runs on a few strong pillars rather than San Antonio's sprawling mix. Sheppard Air Force Base is the giant — one of the U.S. Air Force's largest training installations, home to the 82nd Training Wing and the Euro-NATO Joint Jet Pilot Training program, the only multinational pilot-training operation of its kind — and it drives a huge share of the local payroll and population. Midwestern State University, part of the Texas Tech University System, anchors higher education, and United Regional Health Care System is the dominant hospital and one of the largest civilian employers. Manufacturing has deep roots here too: PPG and Vitro produce aircraft transparencies and architectural glass, Howmet turns out aerospace components, and the surrounding Rolling Plains still work wheat, cattle, and the oil and gas that boomed nearby in Burkburnett a century ago.
For a San Antonio household the cost of living is the headline. Texas has no state income tax either way, but housing in Wichita Falls runs far below San Antonio's — it is consistently among the more affordable markets in the state — so a budget that stretches to a starter home in Bexar County can reach a larger place, or a house with some land, up here. What you give up is big-city scale, and what you gain is short commutes, little traffic, and a genuinely small-city pace, with the DFW Metroplex about two hours southeast and Oklahoma City around two and a half hours north when you need a major airport or big-league amenities.

How a San Antonio-area to Wichita Falls move is quoted + timed
Every move is estimated for the specific shipment — no published rate card. These are the details RiverHills reviews before discussing price and schedule.
Weather & timing for your Wichita Falls move
Wichita Falls sits out on the Rolling Plains near the Red River, and its weather runs harsher than San Antonio's at both ends of the calendar. Summers are brutally hot — triple-digit afternoons are routine through July and August, and the city is known for some of the most extreme heat in Texas, so mid-summer loads are best started at dawn and heat-sensitive belongings kept protected. The wind is nearly constant out here, stronger and steadier than in the Hill Country, which matters on load and unload day for pads, packing paper, and anything light. Spring is the season to respect: this is tornado country, and the region still remembers "Terrible Tuesday," the deadly April 10, 1979 tornado — from roughly March into June, severe storms, large hail, and tornado watches can put a delivery day on hold. Winters are colder than San Antonio's, with blue northers and the occasional ice or snow event that can glaze US-287 and I-44 for a day or two. The clear sweet spot for moving in is fall, roughly October through November: dry roads, mild temperatures, calmer winds, and low storm risk. Early spring, before the storm peak, is a reasonable second choice.

How far is San Antonio to Wichita Falls, and how long does the move take? expand_more
It's about 330 miles — I-35 North up through Austin, Waco, and Fort Worth, then US-287 North the rest of the way. A loaded truck runs roughly five and a half to six and a half hours depending on how the Austin corridor and the US-287 small-town stretch are flowing, which makes it a single long day, door to door, usually with an early morning start.
Is this an intrastate move, and is RiverHills licensed to handle it? expand_more
Yes. Because both cities are in Texas, it's an intrastate move regulated by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles, and RiverHills operates under TxDMV No. 009770506C. We also hold full interstate household-goods authority — USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218 — so we're a licensed, asset-based carrier that handles your goods directly rather than a broker handing them off to someone else.
What determines my custom estimate for this route? expand_more
Every RiverHills move is quoted individually. The main factors are how much you're moving (volume and weight), the size and access of both homes — stairs, long carries, tight driveways, and gate or base access on the Wichita Falls end — any specialty items like a piano, gun safe, or oversized furniture, and whether you'd like us to handle the packing. We build the number around your specific move rather than a flat online rate.
What if my Wichita Falls move-in date doesn't line up with my San Antonio move-out? expand_more
That happens often, especially with base-housing or lease timing. Since the drive is a single day, most moves go straight through, but when the dates don't match we can arrange padded storage between load and delivery, keeping everything blanket-wrapped and protected until your Wichita Falls place is ready.
