Voter Registration
Texas voters must be at least 18 years of age, a resident of the state, a U.S. citizen, and be registered at least 30 days prior to an election. Qualified new residents of Texas can register immediately, although a 30-day processing period occurs before registration is effective. It is possible to register by mail; both the application and postage are free of charge. Election information is available through your county government. The Texas Elections Division also provides general assistance on voter registration and election issues:

If you move within the state, you must re-register and notify your local Voter Registrar. As long as you keep the same address, you will be permanently registered to vote. Every two years, voters receive a registration certificate. Any errors should be reported to the county tax assessor/collector’s office. This office is responsible for voter registration on a local level and will provide answers to questions or more information:
