The Texas Secretary of State, Elections Division has produced a 48 page document for poll workers.

Effective for all elections with voting beginning on or after August 10, 2016, including the November 8, 2016 General Election, until further notice:

Updated Procedure

1.The voter should be asked whether the voter has obtained one of the acceptable forms of photo ID on “List A” that is either current or not expired more than four years.

2.If the voter says “yes”, the voter is required to present that form of photo ID.

3.If the voter informs you that the voter has obtained an acceptable form of photo ID, but did not bring it to the polling place, the voter may vote a provisional ballot and bring the acceptable form of photo ID to the county within 6 days to cure their ballot.

4.If the voter says “no”, ask the voter if he or she has a reasonable impediment or difficulty to obtaining one of the acceptable forms of photo ID on List A. If the voter indicates “yes”, you must inform the voter that he or she can present a supporting form of ID on “List B” and complete a “Reasonable Impediment Declaration.” If the voter presents a supporting form of ID and completes the Declaration, the voter will then complete their check-in, and proceed to the voting booth to cast a regular ballot.

The question is if voters and poll workers can understand all this.
