If I work in New York, can I remain a Texas resident? I just got a job in New York. Up to now I have been working and living in Texas. Do I lose my status as Texas resident? For example, in the future I want to go back to school in Texas, and pay Texas instate resident tuition... Thanks.

Just keep your permanent address in Texas and renew your drivers license and plates there as well.

You stop being a Texas resident as soon as you move out of the state. If you maintain a home there, you may be considered a resident for some purposes, but it depends on the exact purpose whether you would be considered a Texas resident. For University of Texas' in-state tuition, you must live in Texas for 12 consecutive months and maintain a domicile in Texas. Temporary absence even for an employment assignment will not remove your residency, but it has to actually be temporary.
