In Texas, ID is required at the polling place at time of voting. This is regarded by some as unconstitutional (akin to a poll tax, because maintaining ID costs money), but the current government has upheld it as legal, after some back and forth in lower courts. You can verify your own registration status in Texas (e.g., if you registered online and want to see if it's valid for the upcoming election) here: https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do https://teamrv-mvp.sos.texas.gov/MVP/mvp.do I think if I'd registered that way, even in a county like Travis, I'd go ahead and register again the hard way. The Beto/Cruz race is going to be close enough to make every vote count, I think (in a state where Democrats never win state-wide races), and so it's gonna get ugly if the Cruz camp can claim "illegal" voters (they're going to claim illegal voters, regardless, because it's part of the Republican playbook now, but if they have some they can throw out, even better).
