New-resident deadlines

State	Topic	Requirement
Texas	Driver's license	New residents can drive on a valid out-of-state license for up to 90 days, then must get a Texas DL.
Texas	Vehicle registration	Must register and title within 30 days of moving; requires inspection and TX-minimum liability insurance.
Wisconsin	Driver's license	New Wisconsin residents must obtain a Wisconsin driver's license within 60 days of establishing residency (within 30 days for a Commercial Driver License).
Wisconsin	Vehicle registration	New residents are required to title and register their vehicle in Wisconsin upon establishing residency; WisDOT's new-resident page states this obligation but does not publish a specific numeric grace-period (unlike the 60-day license rule), so treat it as "promptly," not a fixed day count.
