While it’s been nearly six months since the tweet in question, it has popped up again and seems to have caused some confusion. As of publication, Berman’s statement has been retweeted more than 15,000 times, and received over 25,000 "likes."
According to the Q&A section of the Vote Texas website, which is part of the Texas Secretary of State’s website, there are seven types of identification that can be presented at a state polling station, all of which are issued by the government. If you do not have one of the seven types of government-issued identification, you may "present a supporting form of ID and execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration..."

When a voter arrives at a polling location, the voter will be asked to present one of the seven (7) acceptable forms of photo ID (listed below). If a voter does not possess an acceptable form of photo identification and cannot reasonably obtain one, the voter may present a supporting form of ID and execute a Reasonable Impediment Declaration, noting the voter’s reasonable impediment to obtaining an acceptable form of photo identification, stating that the information contained in the declaration is true, that the voter is the same individual personally appearing at the polling place to sign the declaration, and that the voter faces a reasonable impediment to procuring an acceptable form of photo identification. If a voter has continued access to their acceptable form of photo ID, but, for example, forgets to bring their acceptable form of approved photo ID to the polling place and/or left it, for example, at home or in their car, the voter still possesses the acceptable photo ID and must use it to vote.
