I don't know about Texas but here in PA you have to have lived in the state for 2 years to qualify for instate fees. They also like you to be a permanent resident but they use their discretion on that one.

You just need to find the right part, I like it here in Austin, apart from the 3 months in the middle of summer.

Me too although I'd say four months and include September.

We've been extremely lucky this year and have escaped "real" summer up until now. The June bugs are actually around now and not in May!

Last night I watched a June bug assassin -- a toad -- under the streetlight next to our house. At first it was relatively willing to travel a few inches for food. We went to get something to eat ourselves and by the time we got back, the toad was visibly comprised of a cartilaginous back and one huge, bulging stomach. It could only waddle.

We also live in Seabrook, but because of a new born have not really had time to socialize......Do they have adult soccer clubs (Men Over-30's) in Seabrook that I could train with. I miss footy training and my waist line has suffered!!
I work in Deer Park and there is an indoor soccer facility opening on Fairmont that will have lunch time games (12-1) that will be great.....anyone interested go to http://www.gamedaytx.com/index.html and register.
