[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]UT Austin is likely a waste of time.[/quote]

Yes. State law mandates that 90 percent of all spots are reserved for Texans. It's a super hard admit for all OOS students. [/quote]

Also understand that most OOS students become instate after a year?  But yes, OOS is a hard admit. [/quote]

Sadly not true any longer. It used to be much easier but now becoming instate involves the purchase of property in the student's name or opening a business in Texas which serves as your main source of income. Some do, but now limited to those who have a spare $250K knocking about.  [/quote]

DC is at UT and changed residency. It really was fairly easy to do. Didn’t take a spare $250K from us. Maybe a spare  $800, but we saved that in tuition. Here’s the rules… https://texreg.sos.state.tx.us/public/readtac$ext.TacPage?sl=T&app=9&p_dir=P&p_rloc=181016&p_tloc=&p_ploc=1&pg=6&p_tac=&ti=19&pt=1&ch=21&rl=21

PS - UT Austin is pretty open, you can meet with the residency office and they will help you through the process[/quote]

I wish they were still as open and helpful - DC is UT freshman and these are the current guidelines as they appear on the UT website and confirmed in one or two (rather terse) conversations. It was made clear that property ownership was the only realistic pathway. Unless she marries a Texan. The first isn't financially available to us, and Quinn Ewers turned her down. So we're outta luck. Given we don't pay taxes in Texas - I can't really find fault in any of it.

To establish domicile, you or your parent(s) must meet the following criteria:

Live in Texas for 12 consecutive months; and
Establish and maintain domicile for 12 consecutive months, as evidenced by:
Gainful employment in Texas;
Note: Student jobs do not qualify as gainful employment.
Sole or joint marital ownership of residential real property in Texas by the person seeking to enroll or the dependent’s parent, having established and maintained a domicile at the residence;
Ownership and operation of a business in Texas; or
Marriage for one year to a person who has established domicile in Texas.[/quote]

You don't need to meet all the criteria.  There are many ways to establish residency after the first 12 months. [/quote]
