I have a Bachelor's Degree, and I want to go back to school for my masters, but I also want to move to Texas. I wanted to know what the law states for In state residents for tuition? Or would it vary school to school? Or would Graduate level classes not matter pricing-wise? Any know any good schools for MBA or Accounting masters in the Lone Star State?
Thanks for all your help!

Actually, at most universities in Texas you may get instate tuition after 1 year not 2, but you should check with the particular school you are applying to because each might be slightly different. I just applied to law school and was granted a scholarship to cover the difference between in and out of state tuition. Most universities will do something like this for competitive applications.
You should apply first. If you are accepted the school wants you to go there and will be more likely to accommodate your financial needs.
p.s. UT Austin Business School ROCKS!

You really should check with the school you wish to attend, they can vary.
I went to UCSB from out of state and it wasn't just a matter of time lived in state. They wanted you to be working, paying taxes, have a driver's license, voting, and ...
...the one that disqualified me, registering your vehicle. I had been in state for 18 months, voted, worked, and had a CA license, but they noticed I still had my car registered in OH. It would have cost me $1200 to register in CA, and I just couldn't afford it. They considered it a lack of conviction to reside in the state honorably, and felt I was only searching for cheaper tuition.
Ran out of money and back to OH I went. Good luck with your Master's Degree.

Universities vary but most have a 2 year rule. Good for you for going back for your Masters.

The general rule of thumb (I hate that expression!) is 3 months. Living in a city, county state before you can get a library card, to claim residency in a city, to vote within that city, etc, etc.
