Will be applying to graduate schools across the country this summer as programs in Texas are not a guarantee. If my spouse finds a full-time job within the new state, will that establish "in-state" status for me?

I am just wondering if anyone has gone through this and what your experience was like. Being able to establish the instate status would save exorbitant amounts of debt/stress. Thank you!

sometimes. Sometimes the school requires you to be a resident for at least 1 year to claim residency

Every school will be different.

you need to contact the school

for undergrad you (or a guardian) need to live in the state for a continual year AND you need to be gainfully employed during that year AND you are not allowed to go to any school so you cannot start out of state and then transition to in state

for graduate school the school has much more ability to "recruit" you and make their own rules

Yeah, that's not accurate. It's state law. It's the same for every public university in Texas.

Specifically, here's A&M's version, but they're all the same.
