Shipping containers delivered across Texas
New and used 20ft, 40ft and 40ft high cube containers, delivered from Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin to the Panhandle, West Texas and the Gulf Coast. Your container ships from the yard nearest to you.
Delivery across Texas
Texas has four of the largest metros in the country in Houston, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio and Austin, plus ranch land, farm country, oil and gas fields from the Permian Basin to the Eagle Ford, and a long Gulf coast. Containers are everywhere here: on ranches, at lease sites, on construction jobs and behind businesses.
We deliver across Texas: Houston and the Gulf Coast, Dallas-Fort Worth, San Antonio, Austin, El Paso, the Rio Grande Valley, Corpus Christi, Lubbock, Amarillo, Midland-Odessa, East Texas and the ranches and small towns in between. Distance is part of the price in a state this big, so your ZIP code matters.
Every order ships from the yard closest to your address. We deliver by tilt-bed, which sets the container straight onto the ground with no equipment needed, or by flatbed if you have a forklift or crane to unload it. Either way you get one delivered price and one point of contact.

How containers get used in Texas
- Ranch and farm storage
- Feed, tack, fencing and tools stay locked and dry.
- Oil field and pipeline sites
- Crews keep tools and parts secure from the Permian to the Eagle Ford.
- Construction storage
- Builders in the fast-growing metros keep materials secure on site.
- Storm-season storage on the coast
- Owners store supplies and equipment on high ground, anchored.
Weather and ground in Texas
Much of North and Central Texas sits on expansive clay that swells when wet and shrinks when dry, so a gravel pad or solid corner blocks help a container stay level. Summers are long and hot, so vents help everywhere; the Gulf Coast adds humidity and hurricanes, while West Texas is dry with rocky caliche ground.
Humidity and condensation
Warm, humid air condenses on cool steel. Roof or wall vents, a few moisture absorbers and keeping stored things off the floor on pallets protect what is inside.
Storms and anchoring
A container is heavy but can still shift in extreme wind or flooding. Ground anchors or tie-downs are common in storm-prone areas, and some local rules require them for certain placements.
Permits and placement rules in Texas
We did not find an official state page that sets permit rules for a storage container on private land in Texas, so the rules come from where you are: ask your city's permit or development office inside city limits, or the county outside them, and check any HOA or deed restrictions.
On the coast, the Texas Department of Insurance runs a windstorm inspection program. In the first-tier coastal counties, a WPI-8 Certificate of Compliance is what makes a building eligible for wind and hail coverage through the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association, and TDI asks anyone planning to build, add to, alter or repair a structure in the program area to notify it before construction starts.
This is general information, not legal advice. Rules change and vary by property, so confirm with the office that covers your address before delivery.

Questions about containers in Texas
Do you deliver containers to West Texas and the Panhandle?
Yes. We deliver across the state, including ranches and lease sites far from town. Long caliche or dirt roads are fine when firm; describe the last stretch when you ask for a price.
Does Texas clay soil matter for a container?
Yes. Expansive clay moves with the seasons, which can pull a container out of level and make the doors stick. A compacted gravel pad or solid blocks under the corners help, and clay approaches are best in dry weather.
Do I need a permit for a shipping container in Texas?
It depends on where the container goes: ask your city inside city limits, or the county outside them. On the coast, the Texas Department of Insurance windstorm program also matters if you want TWIA wind and hail coverage for a structure.
