Hi Delirium,
Not true. The official website of Texas http://www.state.tx.us/ is in both Spanish and English, and this is true of many states with large Spanish-speaking populations. Every ballot I've ever used to vote in an election (I'm from Texas) was printed in both English and Spanish; in the last election, my absentee ballot came with a Vietnamese version as well. All government buildings have their signs in both English and Spanish. Basically, there is no official piece of communication you can get from the Texas state government that does not have every word of English translated to Spanish, and in the Houston area Vietnamese is often included as well.
(Compare the uproar that would ensue if a European country allowed people to vote using Turkish-language ballots.)
While that is uncommon, information about the election is presented in most immigrant languages commonly, here too.
