Voters have their last opportunity to cast a ballot in the Nov. 3 general election on Election Day.

What you need to know: More than 600 polling locations across Harris County will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m., and registered voters can cast a ballot at any of them. Voters must provide photo identification at the polls. Acceptable forms of ID include:

• Texas driver’s license

• Texas election identification certificate

• Texas personal identification card

• Texas handgun license

• U.S. military identification card containing the person’s photograph

• U.S. citizenship certificate containing the person’s photograph

• U.S. passport

What’s on the ballot: Harris County races include county judge, county attorney, district clerk, county clerk, county treasurer and County Department of Education Places 5 and 7. Contested county commissioner seats include Precinct 2, where Adrian Garcia faces Richard Vega, and Precinct 4, where Lesley Briones faces Steve Radack.

The locally and family-owned business Doggy Spa Grooming is now open in Cypress. Owned by high school sweethearts Aimee and James Englert, the dog grooming business officially opened on Oct. 23.

Located at 16726 Huffmeister Road, Ste. D200, the business offers several services for dogs, including:

• Haircuts
• Spa baths
• Nail trims and buffing
• De-shedding treatments

According to the business website, appointments can be made by calling or texting. New clients are asked to fill out a new client form on the Doggy Spa Grooming website.

Harris County Precinct 4 Commissioner Lesley Briones announced Oct. 28 that the precinct, alongside partners, is investing $80.2 million in 10 infrastructure projects.

The big picture: The funding is awarded through Places 4 People, a community development grant process that partners with local organizations. The 2026 projects will benefit 525,000 residents and focus on infrastructure, including:

• Drainage

• Intersection improvements

• Roadway improvements

• Sidewalks

• Trails

Zooming in: From 2024 to 2026, the initiative has invested nearly $333 million in 69 infrastructure projects. Partners for the projects include the City of Houston, the Houston Parks Board, municipal utility districts and tax increment reinvestment zones, some of which match or contribute funding.

One project, involving roadway improvements along Westgreen Boulevard and West Little York Road, is expected to ease daily traffic and help Cy-Fair ISD students have an uninterrupted route to school.

Texans' last chance to vote in this year's midterm election is Nov. 3. Polling places across the state will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m. on Election Day, according to the secretary of state's office.

What to expect: Dozens of races will appear on the ballot, from U.S. Senate and governor to local officials and propositions.

If a voter runs into an issue at the polls that cannot be immediately resolved, such as a lack of photo ID or an administrative error, they have the right to cast a provisional ballot, per state law. Some voters may be required to return to the local voter registrar's office by Nov. 9—six days after Election Day—to resolve the issue after voting.
