The Texas House passed a voter ID bill on Wednesday. The Texas State Senate passed their version in January.
The Texas Voter ID bill found on the Texas Watchdog website appears to be simple and straight forward and leaves little room for loopholes and interpretations by elections officials.
Exemptions inlcude voters 70 and older and persons with disabilities.

- A driver’s license or personal identification card issued by the Department of Public Safety that is current or no more than 60 days past its expiration date.
- A U.S. military identification card, with photo, that is current or no more than 60 days past its expiration date.

- A U.S. passport that is current or no more than 60 days past its expiration date.
- A concealed handgun license issued by DPS that is current or no more than 60 days past its expiration date.
Voters who lack the required ID may cast a ballot provisionally and have six days to present a valid ID to officials.
