Most people don't vote.  Can you believe it?  Here is how you find out if you are registered: go to (Texas Secretary of State, My voter portal).  Look for the place that says "Am I registered?."   Click selection criteria for your name, date of birth, county, and zip code.  Then when your info pulls up, click on the general election link.  The next page will display voting locations and most importantly, at the bottom, EARLY VOTING LOCATIONS.  Today is the first day of early voting so get out there and vote!  Send me an email at [email protected] for help.
