We pick you up at your home, hotel or business address anywhere in the Livingston / Polk County area — in town, on Lake Livingston, around Onalaska, Goodrich, the Naskila Casino area, or any 77351 residential address — and drop you off at your exact Houston destination (IAH terminal curb, Hobby Airport, Texas Medical Center, downtown hotel, or any home address). No park-and-ride lots, no transfer points along US-59.
Is this a shared shuttle or a private ride?
All Texas Shuttle trips between Livingston and Houston are private — you are not pooled with strangers. Your vehicle (sedan, SUV, or Mercedes Sprinter depending on group size) carries only your party. That means we go non-stop from your Livingston pickup straight to your Houston destination on US-59 South / I-69 South, with no detours to drop off other passengers and no waiting at park-and-ride lots.
What route do you take from Livingston to Houston?
Our drivers run the direct US-59 South / I-69 South corridor through Goodrich, Cleveland, New Caney, and Humble straight into north Houston. For IAH we exit at Will Clayton Parkway or Beltway 8 East. For Hobby and downtown we continue south on US-59 / Eastex Freeway to I-610 or Beltway 8. We use live traffic to reroute around incidents on US-59 or I-610 so you still make your flight.
How much luggage can I bring on the Livingston to Houston shuttle?
For 1-3 passengers in a sedan, we comfortably handle 3 standard checked bags plus carry-ons — typical for a Livingston family flying out of IAH or Hobby. For 4+ passengers we send an SUV or Mercedes Sprinter shuttle that handles 7 to 14 checked bags depending on configuration. Tell us your bag count and group size at booking and we'll match you to the right vehicle — no surprise fees, no left-behind suitcases.
Do you offer car seats and child seats for the Livingston to Houston shuttle?
Yes. We can supply infant, toddler and booster seats on request — just add the seat type and child age in the notes when you book, or call (817) 403-6196. Texas law requires children under 8 (and shorter than 4 feet 9 inches tall) to ride in an appropriate seat, and our drivers will install and check it before pickup.
What if my flight to Houston is delayed before my shuttle back to Livingston?
Add your flight number at booking and we monitor it automatically. If your inbound flight to IAH or Hobby is delayed, your Houston airport pickup time shifts to match the new arrival — no need to call or rebook before heading to baggage claim. We meet you at the terminal arrivals curb (IAH Terminal A/B/C/D/E or HOU baggage claim). If plans change for any other reason, contact us at (817) 403-6196 and we'll coordinate a new pickup window.

For international flights at IAH, add another 30 to 60 minutes. We will suggest a pickup time when you book.
