For certain applications (getting your license, permit, etc.), you’ll need to show proof of Texas residency. And no, simply saying "y’all" will not suffice.
The Texas Driver Handbook is authored by the Texas Department of Public Safety. It helps new drivers qualify for a Texas driver license AND it helps Texans become safer drivers. The handbook isn’t an official reference to Texas traffic laws, but the state does want it to provide guidance on the federal and state laws drivers must understand to successfully operate a vehicle in Texas.
Going to the DPS office to see how many speeding tickets you got in your younger, reckless years? This is the form you'll need.
