Ok, um, but the law you linked to earlier was a Texas law, and this new thing is a federal law, and I'm confused about who is making the rules.
The VRA, as far as I remember it, covers only federal elections. The state election code covers state elections. Most jurisdictions will do the same thing for both elections to eliminate paperwork and because it's easier than trying to remember which rules apply to which election.

Harris County didn't submit a language access report in 2005, because there weren't any federal elections in Harris County in 2005.
