Re: British Schools In USA query

Re: I'm done with the cold and need to move!

Re: Moving to Houston - the preparation phase!

Re: Moving to Houston - the preparation phase!

You can drive legally in Texas for one year on a UK license, however expect to pay higher insurance rates. The sooner you pass the test in Texas, which is extremely easy, the better. No chance on the...
