Changing State of residence to Texas ???

Check inheritance laws and death taxes in both states.

Supplemental health care insurance may need to change, also you will lose the homesteading tax break on the MN property. Two different couples have told us that the best thing they did was give up MN for FL and AZ. Both say they have more money at the end of the month now then when they were MN residence (both couples don't own property in MN anymore.)

Texas has the car inspection, but as I understand it you have to have it done when you enter the state, so if you left a vehicle up here you could have TX plates, just not the safety sticker and still be OK driving in MN.

Good Luck

Vehicle inspections are required in Texas. See this thread: Inspections

Florida or Arizona may be better. There are lost of items to consider.

Florida does not have vehicle inspections at all.

Check vehicle insurance rates......we considered a 'move' from SD to TX. Rates would have been double

It ain't all about state income taxes.

Some 'residency' reading.......LINK

Check the property taxes. We moved from TX to NM, which has income taxes, and wound up paying less because of the lower property taxes.
