I've done a reasonable amount of Googling and can't find the answer. I currently live in Louisiana and plan to move to Texas in 2023. My dates are flexible since my lease is month to month and I mostly work online. But there are a couple of things that would be more convenient if I stay in LA for the first few months of the year.

What is the cutoff date for changing tax residency for 2023? July 1st? By changing tax residency I mean becoming a bona fide resident of Texas so that I don't have to pay LA income taxes.

It's 183 days in a year (I guess next year goes to 184 for leap year). Can be any 183, so technically if it's 100% of the time in each state up until the move date, it could be as late as 7/2 (first 6 months have 182; second 6 months has 184). Could also be the beginning and the end of the year, as long as the sum is greater than half.

I would also ensure you change critical items like homestead exemption and driver's license. Claiming residency is easy to challenge when you have those in the opposite state. In general, states are harder on you and quicker to audit for taxes, than the federal gov.
