Yes, you can still vote under the “suspense” list.
Being on the “suspense” list means that the Texas Secretary of State cannot confirm your address. If you haven’t moved, or moved within the same county, just sign a Statement of Residence when you check in at the polls (or when voting by mail), and then vote as usual. If you moved to a different county, contact your county elections office to confirm your options.
