As Linda mentioned on Friday, early voting in Harris County starts today. If customers should ask, there are copies on the top of the holds shelf of the early voting schedule and sample ballots from the Harris County Clerks Office and the Voting Guide (in English) from the League of Women Voters. Spanish copies of the voters guide are being printed and both English and Spanish PDF copies are available on the League's website, https://lwvhouston.org/. The Houston Chronicle also has an online voter's guide, which allows you to search by race, candidate, or district.
HPL's Election Resources page, updated for 2018, also covers acceptable forms of identification required to vote.
