I am not in Texas, and I have used the system. I took email name I suspected
were in Texas and started looking up voter and DMV info. Some I couldn't
find, but I hit several people I have never met. For some, I did a whois on
their domain name and used that city to narrow the search.
I understand the site is now password protected, but they offer accounts to
others who are not in Texas.
