ID is required to vote in Texas. Valid forms of ID include:

– Texas Driver License issued by the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS)
– Texas Election Identification Certificate issued by DPS
– Texas Personal Identification Card issued by DPS
– Texas Handgun License issued by DPS
– U.S. Military Identification Card containing your photograph
– U.S. Citizenship Certificate containing your photograph
– U.S. Passport (book or card)

Student ID is not considered acceptable ID.

If you do not possess and cannot reasonably obtain one of the above forms of photo ID, you may fill out a Reasonable Impediment Declaration (RID) at the polls and present an alternative form of ID, such as a utility bill, bank statement, government check, or a voter registration certificate.

If you do not have any of the above forms of ID or if you do not have or bring a supporting form of ID to present in connection with a Reasonable Impediment Declaration, you may cast a provisional ballot at the polls.

To have the provisional ballot counted, you will be required to visit the county voter registrar’s office within six calendar days of the date of the election to present an acceptable form of photo ID or follow the Reasonable Impediment Declaration procedure.
