There’s generally no voter ID for early voting. You fill in the ballot, sign it and mail it in. So, early voting is irrelevant to this issue, unless Texas has a different procedure. The issue I am concerned with is that the next court up the list will swoop in at the last minute and reinstate the injunction. If the decision is announced a couple days before the election, it makes it harder to do that.

Texas has in person early voting starting next Monday, Oct. 20, 2014.
You’re confusing early voting with absentee voting; the latter involves mailing in a paper ballot, while early voting involves going to one of many designated polling places in the County, showing a photo ID, verification of valid voter registration and then voting. This is in Texas, of course.
