In Texas it's illegal to not have your place of residence.. you must change it after 6 months after moving.

Yes, reprehensible to sell PII. IRS Circular 230 mandates confidentiality of taxpayer info, and privacy abuses disgust me. Unfortunately, most people can't afford maintaining a second residential address. Creating legal structures to enhance privacy is even more expensive.
