County office locations for Harris, Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria and Galveston:
•Harris County: hctax.net (branch locations are on the homepage)
•Galveston County: galvestoncountytx.gov/our-county/tax-assessor-collector/voter-registration
•Fort Bend, Montgomery, Brazoria and other counties: the Texas Secretary of State’s county registrar directory at sos.state.tx.us/elections/voter/votregduties.shtml. Some counties use an elections office as the registrar instead of the tax office, so this directory is the safest single link.
