If you live in Texas, make sure to register to vote! The deadline is coming up in a few days on the 7th. Note that for Texas you must register either in person or by mail, you cannot register online unlike most states
Find information on how to register to vote anywhere https://vote.gov/
gives all the smaller governmental departments(like the municipal courts) time to assimilate your info for future contacts like jury duty
Sounds like the least cynical answer I have gotten here.
