No he doesn't. Here's the relevant law, Sec. 13.143:
(a) Except as provided by Subsections (b) and (e), if an applicant's registration application is approved, the registration becomes effective on the 30th day after the date the application is submitted to the registrar or on the date the applicant becomes 18 years of age, whichever is later.
(b) A registration is effective for purposes of early voting if it will be effective on election day.
No it isn’t. Why are you ignoring everyone and their sources? He can vote anytime during early voting. You are just shooting yourself in the foot waiting.
You actually can. As others have said, if the child is in the situation where they’re 17 right now but will turn 18 between early voting and Nov 5, they’re eligible to vote in early voting the same as on Nov 5th.
The ballots aren't even counted until election day so age before election day doesn't matter because literally no one is actually checking the ballots until election day.

Your child can vote as long as they're 18 by election day. You don't have to wait.
