Also, take concrete steps to establish your Texas residency: get a Texas driver's license; register to vote in Texas; get Texas plates for your car, etc. If you're subjected to a residency audit, New York will want to see proof that you in fact have become a Texas resident - as evidenced by your actions.
There have been instances where a taxpayer was pursued by their "old" state because they had never changed their driver's license to the new state. So the old state's computer systems "thought" they were still residents of the old state.
