Get your taxes done using TurboTax

No, if you moved to Texas with the intention of making it your residence; not changing your driver's license alone will not make you a Georgia resident.  

 

You can show you intend to establish permanent residency in your new state by:

  • Registering to vote in your new state
  • Registering your car with the Department of Motor Vehicles in your new state
  • Changing your driver's license to your new state
  • Purchasing property in your new state, and moving your household to the new property
  • Applying for any property tax exemption or other special privilege the law allows you because your home in your new state is now your primary residence
  • Sending your children to school in your new state
  • Moving your primary bank accounts to your new state
  • Having your membership in any social or business organizations changed to chapters or groups in your new state
