New member questions on domicile

Recommended Posts

Just wanted to run this scenario by people who've been there and done that.  I'm a resident of WV and I work a traveling healthcare job.  I go all over the US and I'm currently assigned in Missouri.  I would like to use Escapees mail forwarding service and establish domicile in Texas.  I want to purchase an RV in GA and have it registered in TX.  Then I could take the RV to TX to get licensed and get my drivers license while I'm there.  Is that doable or will I need the TX drivers license before I buy the RV?  I don't want to register the RV in WV then have to turn around and change everything over to TX.

If you are buying it from a dealer, I would ask there title clerk or company that does there registrations.  Have you tried to call TX MVA?

As it would suck if someone posted up sure you are good, and then you latter find out that you could not.  When I personally need facts like this, I try to go to the source.

Welcome to the Escapee forums. You will need to establish an address with the Escapees first but to be sure exactly what you must do to register the RV call the Livingston license office and tell them exactly what you have in mind as they are used to assisting new Escapees. (936) 327-6801

X2 what Kirk said. Get your Escapees TX address first.  With the TX address you can purchase the RV and have it registured in TX.

You have a WV drivers license?  Do they require different classes for different weight/sizes of RVs?  Some states do, some don't.  I don't know WV so that's my only 2.5 cents worth.  Other than that, enjoy!
