<p>What would be some obstacles in trying to marry solely for in-state tuition?</p>
<p>Finding someone willing to marry me solely for in-state tuition. Or for any reason >_></p>
<p>I am not sure that would help you at all. Wouldn’t moving here for a year create the same benefit? Move to Texas to an apartment and establish a Texas address. Have your parents stop claiming you as a dependent (if that is an issue). Aren’t you then a TX resident?</p>
<p>eaglemom, you also have to buy property or get a job (work study does not count). The rules may be changing, also, so check them carefully.</p>
<p>Hmmm. I think if you got an apartment, applied for a TX drivers license, or ID if you don’t drive, and listed your apt as your permanent address, you may qualify for residency at some point. </p>
<p>Also register to vote, and if you own a car, re-register your plates. In other words, move her and plan to stay awhile. </p>
<p>I’m not a lawyer or residency expert, just thinking common sense would be that working doesn’t establish your residency …living here does, right? </p>
<p>I’d call the comptroller or the secretary of state for Texas and ask for the rules before doing anything drastic like getting married to change your residency status!! </p>
<p>Or you might try calling legal aid in Austin. </p>
<p>Best of luck to you. Don’t give up hope. Texas is an awesome place to live, work and study.</p>
<p>Are you hot?</p>
<p>"working doesn’t establish your residency …living here does, right? "</p>
<p>Seems to me it’s about paying some serious taxes… well at least in California.</p>
<p>When a friend of mine moved here a looong time ago, he had to live here and not be enrolled in school for one year in order to establish residency. Any time spent enrolled in college was not counted toward residency. This was for ACC, not UT, but the state and local taxing authorities may share similar sensibilities.</p>
<h1>6, Yes, but I’m male. I really don’t care how the person looks or how old the person is. I’m not looking to get busy or have a lifetime relationship. I just want instate tuition. After I become a resident, we could just get a divorce.</h1>

<p>^ Thank you! I have been waiting for one.</p>

<p>Here’s a link to info that might help. We were told that owning a business and/or property in Texas was key. So, we started a business that our son is a part owner in and the business bought a condo that he now lives in and manages as his job. We will see if it works when he applies for residency status in a few months. I think it’s a lot harder to get residency if you just live in the state, rather than owning property in the state. Texas charges outrageous property taxes but not income taxes, so they have good reason to feel this way.</p>
