I registered to vote in Texas, but there's a problem........ [View all]

I moved from Virginia to Texas. I registered to vote in Texas, but I haven't yet notified the Virginia board of elections that I no longer reside in Virginia.

Obviously, I'm not going to vote in both states, and I plan to contact the Virginia board of elections very soon, but in the meantime, would there be legal trouble since I'd be a registered voter in two states?
