We have Texas driver's licenses. That state allows you to have a mailing address separate from your actual address. So, we actually have a TX license with our Mexican address; believe it or not.
There are ways to get certain counties in certain states to issue a title and registration for a vehicle not used in that state, and for an owner with a US Social Security number and an address in another state. We do have a US address through a mail forwarding service. We just got renewal stickers last week, as a matter of fact.
