Why brands fulfill from Texas

Texas exported $450.3 billion of goods in 2025, more than any other state, and its 32 official ports of entry handled more than $1 trillion in international trade in 2024. Laredo is the main land crossing: Port Laredo carried about $339.7 billion of trade in 2024, 62% of all trade across the state’s land border with Mexico.

On the coast, Houston is home to the Houston Ship Channel, the nation’s largest port by waterborne tonnage, where Port Houston’s public terminals handled a record 4,303,345 TEUs in 2025. Inland, Dallas-Fort Worth sits at the crossroads of I-20, I-30, I-35 and I-45, and North Texas produced 30% of Texas GDP in 2024.

Texas had an estimated 31,709,821 residents in 2025, and more than one in four of them live in Dallas-Fort Worth. Dallas-Fort Worth, at 8.5 million, and metro Houston, at 7.9 million, each added more than 120,000 residents between 2024 and 2025.
