East Canada, eh? Y'know this is how many will immediately picture you...
Kidding aside, welcome to Texas! As many have suggested, find a rural DPS office to get your license. There are many in the Austin-San Antonio are depending on where you are. If you're closer to the latter, take a day trip out to Kerrville or even Castroville. Call first, but most likely you'll be able to walk in.
I'm in SA and I avoid all the big DPS offices in the area, you'll spend less time driving an hour or two out than waiting at them!

Boerne office was not bad...might try there.
ETA - fair warning: has been four years.
A friend grew up on PEI. Her dad was a crusty old Irishman who never held back. One day while he was visiting her down in MA someone said something about Quebec.
His reply was, "They ain't Canadians, they're G-d D-mned Quebecers!"
I still laugh at the memory 30 years later.

All of the above .Neither the registration process nor getting DLs was particularly difficult. The various web sites spell it out pretty clearly. Even the property tax exemption process is pretty simple.
The hardest part might be finding a new doctor, dentist, and eye doctor.

After a bad experience with a doctor who 'practices medicine" locally, my wife and I are still using our primary care and cardiologist from our previous state.
LPR yup!
Lived in Montreal for a year for work, don't speak a word of French, was an interesting time to say the least
Work brought me here, Engineering with Tesla, but I've had my sights on Texas for close to a year waiting for an excuse to move here. Loving everything about it so far - other than the paperwork side of things.
No plans to ever leave now
My hometown is where TPB was filmed!
Usually the point of reference I give to explain where I'm from.
Thanks for the tips on DPS!

You also came us to get your vehicles imported to meet DPS guidelines? Lol.
I would do that, but she told me that since COVID doctors are prohibited from doing telehealth visits across state lines. I can still message her via the patient gateway and she can write prescriptions for non narcotic drugs. Which means that she can renew my prescriptions for the two daily medications I take.
My wife and I scheduled of our physicals for the same morning and we made a 7-1/2 hour drive each way.
We could do that, but it would require a 4 hour or more flight each way, and at least one overnight hotel stay.
