The San Antonio & Hill Country → Mission corridor
The run from San Antonio down to Mission is a lane RiverHills drives all the time — a roughly 240-mile push toward the southern tip of Texas that the crew treats as part of its regular footprint, not some once-a-year long haul. Loads leave San Antonio and head south on Interstate 35, rolling through Von Ormy, Lytle and Devine before crossing the wide South Texas brush country past Pearsall, Dilley and Cotulla. Down toward Laredo the route swings east onto US-83, which traces the Rio Grande through Zapata, Rio Grande City and Roma before Sullivan City, La Joya and Palmview hand the truck off to Expressway 83 and into Mission. Hill Country households share this exact line: families leaving Boerne, Kerrville and Fredericksburg roll into San Antonio first and pick up the same southbound corridor, which is why a search for "Boerne to Mission" or "Kerrville to Mission" lands right here.
The land flattens and warms the whole way down. You leave the limestone edge of the Hill Country behind, cross the mesquite-and-chaparral ranch country of the old Wild Horse Desert, and drop into the flat, subtropical delta of the Lower Rio Grande Valley, where citrus groves and rows of palms take over from the hills. Free-flowing, it's a comfortable half-day behind the wheel — figure four and a half to five hours of driving — and RiverHills runs it on one dedicated crew and one truck, start to finish. There is no interlining, no broker handoff, and no swapping your boxes onto a stranger's trailer at a terminal. The same movers who wrap and load in San Antonio or the Hill Country are the ones who carry your furniture into the house in Mission, everything padded and blanket-wrapped for the trip, and most of these moves finish in a single day, load to unload.
Your household on one truck, San Antonio to Mission.
Padded, blanket-wrapped, and carried by the same crew from load to delivery — no interlining, no strangers on your shipment.
About Mission, TX
Mission sits on the western side of the McAllen metro in Hidalgo County, a Rio Grande Valley city best known as the birthplace of the Ruby Red grapefruit and the hometown of coach Tom Landry. Its neighborhoods each carry their own feel. Sharyland Plantation is the big gated, master-planned community on the north side — guard gates, wide boulevards and newer construction that means our crew checks in at the entrance before ever reaching your driveway. Cimarron wraps its custom homes around a golf course and country club, with tighter interior streets around the fairways. Out by the state park, Bentsen Palm keeps growing with new single-family sections alongside Retama Village, the Winter Texan RV resort that fills with snowbirds every winter and has its own seasonal access rhythm. Closer in, the Mission Historic District along Conway Avenue anchors the older downtown grid, where narrower streets and mature trees shape where a full-size truck can legally park, while the original Sharyland area near Shary Road holds established homes and the highly regarded Sharyland ISD schools.
The local economy leans on schools, healthcare, retail and cross-border trade. Sharyland ISD and Mission CISD are among the largest employers, Mission Regional Medical Center anchors local healthcare, and the retail strip along Expressway 83 and Shary Road draws shoppers from across the western Valley. The Anzalduas International Bridge on the south side moves freight and commuters to and from Reynosa, feeding the region's logistics and manufacturing base, and McAllen's La Plaza Mall, DHR Health and the airport sit just minutes east. Outdoors, Mission is a birding capital — Bentsen-Rio Grande Valley State Park and the World Birding Center draw visitors from around the world — and the mild winters that pull in Winter Texans make the whole city feel built around being outside.
Compared with San Antonio, Mission generally stretches a housing budget further. Lot sizes and square footage tend to run larger for the money, especially in master-planned areas like Sharyland Plantation and Bentsen Palm, and much of the housing stock is newer. The trade-off is a smaller, more spread-out metro with a slower pace, a deeply bilingual Rio Grande Valley culture, and summer heat that runs hotter and more humid than the Hill Country. Families making the move usually find they gain space and a tight-knit community, even as they trade San Antonio's big-city amenities for the Valley's border-town rhythm.

How a San Antonio-area to Mission 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 Mission move
Mission sits deep in the subtropical Lower Rio Grande Valley, so summers are long, hot and humid — daytime highs regularly climb into the upper 90s and past 100 from June through September, with Gulf humidity pushing the heat index higher still. Winters are the payoff: mild, sunny and short, with highs often in the 60s and 70s, which is exactly why so many Winter Texans park here from November through March. Keep an eye on the tropics — hurricane season runs June through November, and Gulf systems or their remnants can dump heavy rain and cause flooding, while spring occasionally brings severe thunderstorms and gusty winds. The most comfortable window for a move is late October through March, when the heat breaks and conditions are drier and easier on both the crew and your belongings. RiverHills trucks are clean, padded and fully blanket-wrapped — not climate-controlled — so on hot-weather moves the crew loads early and works efficiently to keep time on the truck to a minimum.

Super friendly and reliable service members. They worked fast and diligently to get me moved from Kerrville all the way to Dallas! I would definitely recommend this company if you’re planning on moving.
Zoe Elise Furr Kerrville → Dallas move · via Google RiverHills Moving Company helped me move my mom from Harper Texas to Dallas (Frisco) Texas. They were absolutely fantastic. Could not have been nicer guys that helped pack her up and move her in. Very respectful and I have NEVER had movers that have handled our stuff so well and were so polite. I grew up military and have moved my entire childhood. They took great care of my mom.

Learn more arrow_forwardFrequently asked: San Antonio to Mission
Do you drive San Antonio to Mission yourselves, or hand it off to another carrier? expand_more
It's our own crew and our own truck the entire way. RiverHills does not interline or broker this route — the same movers who wrap and load your home in San Antonio or the Hill Country drive it down and carry everything into your new place in Mission, with no terminal transfers along the way.
Can you also move us to Mission from Boerne, Kerrville or Fredericksburg? expand_more
Yes. RiverHills is based in the Texas Hill Country with branches in Boerne and Kerrville, and Mission is on a corridor we run regularly. Hill Country moves funnel through San Antonio and pick up the same southbound route, so "Boerne to Mission" and "Kerrville to Mission" are served right here on the same crew and truck.
How far is it, and how long will the move take? expand_more
It's roughly 240 miles to Mission, about a half-day of driving down I-35 and US-83. Because it's a lane we run often and we never transfer your goods to another truck, most household moves are completed door-to-door in a single day, load to unload — larger homes may run into a second day depending on volume and access.
Can you handle gated communities and Winter Texan resorts? expand_more
Absolutely. We move into Sharyland Plantation, Cimarron and Bentsen Palm regularly, and we're familiar with Winter Texan spots like Retama Village. Just let us know the community's access rules — guard gate, move-in permit, or certificate of insurance — when you book so we can have everything cleared before move day.
