I was born and raised in Texas. I've lived all over the place and have lived in California for over 20 years but still, no matter where I go, Texas always feels like home. Maybe I'll move back some day.

Anyhow, to be a resident, you just have to move there but to be a Texan... you don't actually have to be born in Texas to be a Texan.... but when you're a Texan, you'll know. Since the OP is asking, then the OP isn't a Texan. Might become a Texan in the next 5 minutes or maybe never. When you're out in the world and you know that Texas is and always will be home, then you're a Texan.

My father once told me when I was young and had the wanderlust that Texans always come home sooner or later. There are a lot of things I really love and hate about Texas but it's home and as I realize the days in front of me are fewer than the days behind me (stole that line from Captain Picard on Star Trek) some part of me is being inexplicably pulled home. When you feel that pull, you're a Texan... Like it or not!

I am from Plum (near Monroeville) . Hopefully my house will sell by the end of the Summer and I will be on my way down to the Lonestar state!

Attain a Texas Driver's License within 90 days after moving to the state of Texas if you are 16-years-old or older and wish to change your residency. Surrender a valid driver's license from your previous state at a local Texas Department of Motor Vehicle's (DMV) office.

If your Texas residency is called into question, you can present certain documents as proof. For example, provide an employer's statement with signature showing your length of employment in Texas.

A parent or guardian's income tax form, filed in Texas, showing you as a dependent within the last 12 months is also acceptable.

You man also provide recent property tax receipts from , proof of a large down payment on a Texas property or a lease agreement on a Texas apartment as evidence.

Texas voter registration cards, credit reports showing a local address.

Google... Texas proof of residency for reference material

Since you are actually asking about the retention of citizenship in Michigan, you might want to check in with the Michigan forum.
