re: Residency challenges—has any state ever gone after you?

This. At the time I believed I was going to move back to Louisiana so I didn’t change anything over. And like you, they didn’t take my bills as residency proof in a new state.

You can likely beat the LDR if you have that stuff such as bills as proof. LDR likes to act like the only two things that matter are DL and vehicle registration, but that's not exactly what the law says.

However, to beat them, you probably have to, at a minimum go through the board of tax appeals, and more likely, go to court. And for most people, the cost to just pay the state and make the changes is far less than the cost of fighting them.

Also, keep in mind that most states require you to get a DL in their state, within 30 days of moving in.
