[UC Berkeley Registrar : Legal Residence Information](http://registrar.berkeley.edu/Residency/legalinfo.html)

The only problem with establishing residency is that I highly doubt Berkeley is going to let the OP defer their acceptance for a year. The OP sounded surprised that they got accepted, and I’m lead to believe that there is a decent chance that they might not get accepted if they were to reapply next year. Let’s just say worst case scenario, the OP gets rejected next year for Berkeley. Now if that were to happen, the OP will have some serious questions: go to a private (which would probably cost more than UT), go to a CA school with in-state tuition, or go back to TX with out-of-state tuition. Seems kinda risky.
