Deliverzen runs a boutique 3PL operation in the Dallas, Texas area. They're one of our go-to partners for cosmetics and nutraceuticals, with DTC, Amazon, and retail B2B all under one roof. Their tech stack is sharp. We've worked with them for years and placed brands like Le Prunier with their team.
Warehouse-Pro
Warehouse-Pro has locations in Kansas City and the greater Dallas area. They do a ton of high-SKU apparel and footwear and their reverse logistics setup is one of the better ones we've seen. It's a family-owned business with hands-on customer service and a good fit for brands that ship a lot of returns.

Smart Warehousing has 18 facilities spread across the country, including locations in Dallas and Houston, Texas. They can handle just about anything: ambient, temp-controlled, food and beverage, footwear, you name it. Their Texas facilities are FDA registered and they work with brands across a wide mix of industries and sales channels.
Manifest
Manifest runs a boutique 3PL in Austin, Texas. One of ShipBob's co-founders started the company because he wanted closer relationships with the brands he worked with. They're a certified B Corp, so sustainability is baked into their operation. Manifest is a great fit for brands doing 3,000 or more orders a month.
ShipMonk
ShipMonk operates a global fulfillment network with a facility in Fort Worth, Texas, plus locations in nine other states and several countries.

FulfillPlus

LVK Logistics is the 3PL arm of ShipHero, the popular warehouse management system. They have locations in Fort Worth, Texas, plus Pennsylvania, Florida, Nevada, Utah, and Canada.

Texas Fulfillment Centers and Warehouses
Texas offers one of the strongest fulfillment footprints in the United States. The state's central location, anchored by the I-35, I-10, and I-20 corridors, enables 2-day ground shipping to roughly 93% of the U.S. population. Major metro areas like Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and Austin each serve distinct logistics roles, from DFW's inland distribution power to Houston's access to the largest port complex on the Gulf Coast.
Warehouse rates in Texas remain highly competitive, typically ranging from $5 to $8 per square foot, well below coastal markets. This cost advantage, combined with no state income tax and a business-friendly regulatory environment, has driven rapid growth in fulfillment center development across the state. DFW alone has added over 50 million square feet of industrial space in recent years. For a full breakdown of storage, pick-and-pack, and shipping costs, see our 3PL pricing guide.
Texas is particularly strong for brands serving e-commerce, consumer packaged goods, automotive aftermarket, and oil and gas supply chains. Laredo, on the I-35 corridor, is the top U.S.-Mexico trade crossing by value.
For brands evaluating a multi-node fulfillment strategy, Texas frequently serves as either a primary or secondary node. Pairing a Texas facility with an East Coast location can achieve nationwide 2-day coverage at ground rates. The state's deep labor pool across multiple metros also reduces the seasonal hiring challenges that constrain fulfillment in smaller markets.
Where in Texas should you fulfill from?
Each Texas metro plays a different role, and the right one depends on how your freight arrives and where your customers live.
Houston pairs the nation's top port for foreign tonnage with hazmat-certified warehousing depth. From our picks, FulfillPlus, Thrive 3PL, and Smart Warehousing all operate here, and brands importing by sea can receive, store, and ship from one metro. Compare all Houston 3PLs.
Dallas and Fort Worth are the ground-distribution heart of Texas. Most of our top picks operate here, including Selery Fulfillment, Deliverzen, Warehouse-Pro, Smart Warehousing, Our Serviceworks, ShipMonk, and LVK Logistics. Compare all Dallas 3PLs.
Austin hosts a smaller, DTC-flavored 3PL scene; our pick Manifest runs its certified B Corp apparel operation here. Compare all Austin 3PLs.
San Antonio sits on I-35 between the Laredo border crossing and DFW, a practical node for cross-border programs. Compare all San Antonio 3PLs.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much does a 3PL service cost for businesses in Texas?
Most fulfillment services in Texas price three components: storage, pick and pack, and outbound shipping. Typical 2026 benchmarks are $18 to $25 per pallet per month for storage, $2 to $3 per B2C order for pick and pack, and $5 to $15 per pallet for receiving, with monthly minimums averaging around $500. Texas warehouse space runs $5 to $8 per square foot, well below coastal markets, which keeps storage rates lower than California or the Northeast. Your actual cost depends on order volume, SKU count, and package size. Fulfill.com matches you with Texas 3PLs and helps you compare quotes side by side, free for brands.
Which Texas cities have the highest concentration of 3PL warehouses?
Texas's biggest logistics hubs are Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, and San Antonio, with Austin close behind. Dallas-Fort Worth anchors ground distribution for the central US, Houston adds the nation's busiest port by foreign tonnage, and San Antonio covers the I-35 corridor toward the Laredo border crossing. Most brands shortlist a 3PL in whichever hub matches how their freight arrives.
How quickly can a Texas 3PL start shipping my orders?
A typical DTC brand running Shopify or Amazon can be live in two to four weeks with most Texas 3PLs. More complex setups such as custom WMS integrations, retail EDI compliance, or regulated goods usually take six to twelve weeks. The fastest way to shorten that timeline is having clean SKU data, product dimensions, and integration credentials ready before onboarding starts.
Are there any tax incentives or benefits for using a 3PL provider in Texas?
Texas has no state income tax, and its Freeport exemption can remove qualifying inventory from local property taxes when goods are held for 175 days or less before shipping out of state. The Texas Enterprise Zone Program also offers incentives for investment in designated areas. Tax treatment of 3PL-held inventory is nuanced, including how it can affect sales tax nexus, so confirm the specifics with a tax professional before committing to a location.
Is Texas cheaper than California or New York for 3PL services?
In most cases, yes. Warehouse lease rates in Houston and Dallas run 30-40% below coastal markets like Los Angeles and the New York metro area, and Texas has no state income tax, which keeps labor costs more competitive. The tradeoff is transit time to coastal customers, but for brands shipping nationwide, Texas's central location often nets out to lower average shipping costs across all zones.
Which Texas ports and airports matter most for fulfillment?
The Port of Houston is the dominant container gateway on the Gulf Coast, handling over 70% of the region's container volume and ranking first in the US for foreign waterborne tonnage. For air freight, Dallas-Fort Worth International (DFW) and Houston's George Bush Intercontinental (IAH) both handle significant cargo volume with direct international routes. Brands importing by sea tend to cluster 3PL operations near Houston, while brands focused on domestic ground speed often choose the DFW corridor for its central interstate access.
Who are the strongest mid-sized 3PL providers in Texas?
Based on Fulfill.com placement results, the strongest mid-sized Texas 3PLs include Deliverzen in the Dallas area for omnichannel cosmetics and nutraceuticals, Warehouse-Pro in Rockwall for high-SKU apparel and reverse logistics, Our Serviceworks in Carrollton for temperature-controlled products, and Thrive 3PL in greater Houston for fast-growing ecommerce brands. Each operates at boutique to mid-market scale with hands-on service.
