Thank you for your response.
If "intent" is the most important factor, how do we prove to the state of California when we had the intent to settle in California? It could be argued that the day I closed on my house in Texas, I had the intent to be domiciled in California even though I was still living in Texas until sometime later. On the other hand, one can argue that we were still considering our options when we arrived. I guess my point is I may not be able to defend any date that I pick to satisfy the state of California. How critical is this?
