Voting in Texas is often an adventure, especially in the game of precinct tag - the citizen who has to negotiate the highest number of locations in order to vote wins. Texas voters are assigned a voting precinct, which is not the same as a county precinct, based on where he or she lives. In different elections (school board, county elections, state elections, federal elections, early voting, and so on, just where one is permitted to vote often changes.
Another adventure is curbside voting (although once upon a time my precinct was a trailer off in some weeds and there was no curb). The illogic of this sign is wonderful - if someone who is handicapped cannot make it inside to the polling place then he or she almost surely cannot manage to reach the door where the doorbell is located.
But one of the many good things about Texas is that there is always someone around to help with wheelchairs and doors.
