GETTING
AROUND
Moving, be it across town or to
another state, is a detail-oriented process
that is further complicated by the fact that
laws and regulations are, more often than
not, different in a resident's new home
than one's old home. This fact is particularly true when it comes to getting a new
driver’s license, vehicle registration and
vehicle titling. Another of the most important challenges when moving to a new
city is learning how to get around learning how to get around, learning how to
navigate around new streets, and the
location of important landmarks such as
the airport.
Never fear–here’s some basic information on getting settled in Austin:
