  • Toll Roads – There are numerous toll roads throughout North Texas. The North Texas Tollway Authority controls roughly 90 miles of freeways, bridges and tunnels. Make sure to consider the costs and plan your route accordingly, and be advised that the toll charges are “per axle”, which means a trailer or car dolly will be extra. Once you’ve settled into your new home, you may want to apply for a TollTag which will get you reduced rates at all toll check points if you find yourself using toll roads regularly.
  • Job Opportunities – Plano enjoys a lower unemployment rate well below that of the national average. Many corporate headquarters such as Alliance Data, Cinemark, Dell, Dr Pepper, Snapple Group, Frito-Lay, and Pizza Hut call Plano its home. Joining these large companies is Toyota, which will bring a major economic boost to the region. Additionally, Texas does not have a state income tax, which means more of what you make will come back to you.
  • ID Cards – Many states have a requirement that, as a new resident, within 30-60 days you must get a new license based in your new state; not Texas. You are allowed to keep your current identification card until it expires and/or get a new ID once you have lived in the state for at least 30 days.
