The San Antonio & Hill Country → Katy corridor
The run from the San Antonio area to Katy is almost a straight shot east on Interstate 10 — roughly 175 to 180 miles of it depending on your exact pickup point. Loads out of San Antonio proper merge onto I-10 East downtown, while moves originating in the Hill Country feed onto the very same freeway from the west: a household leaving Kerrville rolls down through Comfort and Boerne, a Fair Oaks Ranch or Boerne pickup joins near the Kendall County line, and Fredericksburg homes cut over via US-290 or drop south to I-10 — every one of them converging on the eastbound lanes that carry the truck all the way to Katy. Whether the job is filed as "Kerrville to Katy," "Boerne to Katy," or "San Antonio to Katy," it is the identical corridor and the identical drive. Past San Antonio the road leaves the limestone hills and cedar of the Balcones country behind and settles into the Post Oak Savannah, passing Seguin, Luling, Flatonia, and Schulenburg, then crossing the Colorado River at Columbus before the land flattens out through Sealy and Brookshire onto the coastal Katy Prairie.
Under clear conditions the drive itself is about two-and-a-half to three hours of steady highway, which makes this a comfortable single-day move for most households — load in the morning on the west end, unload the same afternoon in Katy. The wrinkle is the destination: Katy sits on the far western edge of Greater Houston where I-10 becomes the Katy Freeway and stacks up against the Grand Parkway (SH-99) and Beltway 8 interchanges, so RiverHills times the eastbound arrival to slide in around Houston's rush windows rather than fight them. Owner-operator Jackson Williams runs the haul with the same crew from load to unload, everything blanket-wrapped, padded, and shrink-secured for a corridor that spends its final stretch on flat, fast prairie freeway — simple, safe, and done right the first time.

About Katy, TX
Katy began as a rice-farming stop on the Missouri–Kansas–Texas Railroad — the "K-T" line that gave the town its name — and the old grain dryers and brick storefronts of historic downtown Katy still anchor the community even as it has become one of Houston's fastest-growing western suburbs. The city and its greater area sprawl across three counties — Harris, Fort Bend, and Waller — and are built almost entirely around large master-planned communities threaded between I-10 (the Katy Freeway) and the Grand Parkway. It is a distinctly family-oriented place, and its single biggest draw is Katy Independent School District, one of the most highly regarded public school systems in Texas, which shapes where and why people buy here.
Economically, Katy leans on Houston's engine while keeping plenty of its own. The Energy Corridor just to the east concentrates oil-and-gas and engineering employment (BP America's campus among them), and Katy itself is home to the corporate headquarters of Academy Sports + Outdoors and Igloo Products, plus sizable Amazon fulfillment and logistics operations. Healthcare is a major employer too, with Houston Methodist West, Memorial Hermann Katy, Texas Children's Hospital West Campus, and an MD Anderson location, while thousands of residents commute to the Texas Medical Center. Retail and leisure round it out — Katy Mills, LaCenterra at Cinco Ranch, the Katy Asian Town district, and Typhoon Texas waterpark.
Compared with San Antonio, expect Katy to run more expensive, mostly on housing — the Houston-metro market and Katy's newer, amenity-rich subdivisions price higher than comparable San Antonio neighborhoods. Both cities share Texas's no-state-income-tax advantage, but Katy buyers should budget for elevated property taxes, and in particular the MUD (Municipal Utility District) levies attached to many master-planned communities, which fund the community infrastructure and can add meaningfully to the annual tax bill relative to an established San Antonio home.

How a San Antonio-area to Katy 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 Katy move
Katy sits on the flat, low Gulf Coast plain, so the climate is humid subtropical — noticeably muggier and rainier than San Antonio. Summers (roughly June through September) bring sustained heat with heavy humidity that makes loading and unloading harder on people and belongings, and this window overlaps Atlantic hurricane season (June–November), when tropical systems can dump intense rain; the Katy Prairie and the Addicks/Barker reservoir area are genuinely flood-prone, as Harvey demonstrated in 2017. Winters are mild and generally move-friendly, though a hard freeze is possible (as in February 2021). The best months to move into Katy are typically October and November — after peak heat, on the calmer end of hurricane season — and March through April in spring, before the summer humidity and storm risk build. Note: RiverHills moves in clean, padded, blanket-wrapped trucks; we do not run climate-controlled trailers, so for a humid-season move we focus on proper wrapping and tight scheduling around the weather.

How far is San Antonio to Katy, and how long does the move take? expand_more
It's roughly 175 to 180 miles, almost entirely on I-10 East, and about two-and-a-half to three hours of driving in clear conditions. For most households it's a single-day move — loaded on the west end in the morning and unloaded in Katy the same afternoon. Pickups from Boerne, Comfort, or Kerrville run the identical I-10 corridor, just joining it from the west.
Is a San Antonio to Katy move interstate, and is RiverHills licensed for it? expand_more
No — because both cities are in Texas, this is an intrastate move, regulated by the Texas Department of Motor Vehicles. RiverHills operates under TxDMV No. 009770506C for moves within Texas. We also hold full interstate household-goods authority — USDOT 3561425 and MC-1196218 — for the times a customer's move crosses a state line, so you're covered either way.
What determines the price of my move? expand_more
Every move is custom-quoted. The estimate is shaped by the volume and weight of your household goods, access at both ends (stairs, elevators, long carries, gated-community access), how much packing you'd like us to handle, your preferred date, and whether you need any storage-in-transit. We build the quote around your specific home rather than a flat rate — the surest way to a firm number is a quick walkthrough or inventory.
What if my San Antonio and Katy closing dates don't line up? expand_more
That's common, and it's why we offer storage-in-transit. If you have to be out of your Hill Country or San Antonio home before your Katy place is ready, we can hold your blanket-wrapped goods securely and deliver them on the day that works, so you're not forced to sync two closings perfectly.
