Indeed, one of the key disenfranchisement tactics used by Texas and some other states is to make it virtually impossible for college students to vote. They require 2 printed proofs of residency, which are things like leases or utility bills that name the subject and are addressed to their residence, but university undergraduates don't receive mail at their residences, they have post office boxes, and they don't have leases or utility bills, either. If you look at the list of documents for establishing "residency" in Texas, you can see how impractical it would be for a teenage college student especially one who moved from another state.
