New Mexico as Full Time Residence

As a native New Mexican with most of my family still there, I would love to domicile in NM when we go full-time in 2015. However, despite what Kiplinger says, NM is not the best tax or cost of living situation for retirees. Having researched the topic extensively (and joined Escapees), we plan to domicile in Texas and spend lots of time in New Mexico. Escapees provides lots of support services - including a mail service with a physical address - and Texas is one of the three best states for taxes, vehicle fees, etc.
