<p>According to <a href="http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/residency/faq">http://bealonghorn.utexas.edu/residency/faq</a>, there are ways to establish residency for tuition and admission purposes that do not involve becoming dependent to a Texas resident:</p>
<p>*One year of employment (paycheck stubs or letter from employer),
*Property ownership in Texas for one year (Warranty Deed),
*Business ownership in Texas for one year
*Proof that you have been married to a Texas resident for one year (marriage license and verification of spouse’s employment, property ownership or business ownership in Texas).</p>
<p>By these standards, would a student over the age of 18 who can show proof of real estate ownership (say, a plot of land) and employment in Texas qualify for in-state tuition at this university?</p>
