Just because they have “diplomatic immunity” doesn’t mean that Texas officials are obliged to let them go wherever they like, afaik.

Exactly. They aren't registered Texas voters so put a few Texas Rangers, sherrifs and DPS at each poll to make sure they stay far, far away. If they cause a ruckus, escort them them off and go through their diplomatic papers very, very slowly.

Exactly. They may not be able to arrest and prosecute them, but they can take them into temporary custody and hold them until after voting hours.

it I remember from my old police academy days, Diplomatic Immunity doesn’t necessarily mean you can’t be arrested, it means you can be prosecuted.

If a diplomat is wasted and behind the wheel, he certainly can be arrested, lest the officer be charged later if the guy wrecks and kills someone.
