Three Ways To Register to Vote in Texas:
- Visit your local registrar’s office! Every county has a voter registration office; most are open during regular business hours. Find your local office and get registered in person today.
- Mail in your registration. You can find the voter registration application online. Fill it in, print it, and mail it to your county registration office before the deadline.
- Visit your local public library. Texas public libraries have voter registration resources. When you go in person, a registration official or volunteer will help you complete and submit your registration.
Remember: The deadline to register to vote is Oct. 7. Register to vote today and make sure your voice is heard this November!

This week, Gov. Greg Abbott called the Legislature back for Special Session #3. During the special session, lawmakers will focus on a handful of items that include school voucher programs.
Many disability advocates have significant concerns with the establishment of an Education Savings Account (ESA) Program for students with disabilities. These apprehensions are extensive, with the main concerns being the loss of legal protections for students and their families, the lack of academic and student outcome accountability in the private sector, and the segregation of students with disabilities.
TCDD has created this resource to detail the areas of concern and provide policy recommendations. #TxLege #DDAwareness
