Why this matters

The final month is where good decisions are protected or undone. A simple weekly structure keeps logistics from crowding out the items that still need verification.

Week 4 — Confirm

  • Close out every open verification item from Play 8.
  • Confirm school enrollment requirements and documents needed.
  • Lock insurance for the specific address.
  • Book movers and confirm building or HOA move-in rules.

Week 3 — Transfer

  • Schedule utility start and stop dates with overlap.
  • Submit mail forwarding and update key addresses.
  • Transfer medical, dental, and veterinary records.
  • Register for any community or amenity access.

Week 2 — Prepare

  • Confirm closing timeline and funds transfer instructions with your title company directly.
  • Do a final walkthrough or arrange for one to be documented on your behalf.
  • Plan the first-week essentials box.
  • Identify your new grocery store, pharmacy, and urgent care.

Week 1 — Arrive

  • Drive your commute at your real departure time before your first workday.
  • Update driver's license and vehicle registration timelines for Texas.
  • Meet neighbors on either side.
  • Walk the neighborhood in the evening.
