Am I Already Registered to Vote?

Please feel free to use the Texas Voter Information Website that not only confirms whether you are registered or not, but will even allow you to search for your polling place location prior to an election. 

The service is easy to use. Search with using your Voter ID, Texas DL or just Name, County, and Date of Birth. If you know that you have not registered to vote then please use the Informal Online Application service. Complete and print the application, and mail it to the Johnson County voter registrar. You are not registered until you have filled out the online application, printed it, and mailed it to your local County Voter Registrar.
