Becoming a Texas resident?

How long do I have to live in Houston to become a Texas resident?

I am not a student; I'm just getting married and moving there soon.

What kind of document do I need to provide? Will a lease do?

    Maybe I misunderstand your question, but if I'm reading it correctly:

    The dictionary defines resident - "one who resides in a place"

    You're a "resident" of wherever you live. Move to Texas, get your Texas driver's license and you're a Texas resident.

    We're not a foreign country. No visas required. Welcome to Texas and enjoy your stay!!! ;-)

    basically positioned your handle as your mom's. To be a resident, you basically could have an area of abode interior the state, and have lived there for a undeniable volume of time. considering the fact that your mom has been there for basically approximately 3 years, i might think of you will be able to desire to declare residency. yet ideas you, that's the "shady" way of doing it. The technical way is which you will bypass to Texas and stay there for a 300 and sixty 5 days.

    Usually you need a texas drivers licence or some kind of ID that shows you Texas address. It really depends on who is asking for proof and what they want to see.
