Last year my parents tried to move our residency from CA to TX, but we live in Russia. We got our friends' address, filed last year's federal tax from TX, dad got a TX driver's license, we are paying for a home phone in TX as well. Is that good enough or do I actually have to do live there? And if something goes wrong, can we lose our CA residency status as well? I lived in TX for a year before but that was way back when I was in junior high.

Residency for education is different than residency for most other things. If you are interested in attending university in TX, look here for details about residency: http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/residency/resfaq.html

most states have residency requirements for various reasons - some require a minimum of 6-months. I lived in England for more than 2years and could not change my Missouri residency until I actually lived somewhere for more than 6 months. I eventually spent 6-months in Virginia. I see no practical reason to change the State of Residency unless your state has oppressive tax laws.

Buy a house, live there for at least 6 months, pay
property taxes, move your mailing address there.
