According to their website, you don't. You can do the mail/email thing.
HPL - Registration by Mail
Quote:
If you are a Texas resident and unable to physically come to the library to register for a library card, you can register by mail. Please print the Library Card registration form and send it, along with a good quality photocopy of your photo I.D. with your current address, to:
Houston Public Library
System Circulation Department (Library Card)
500 McKinney
Houston, TX 77002
You can also email a scanned copy of the completed application form and photo I.D. to circinfo@hpl.lib.tx.us.
It takes about 24 hours to process applications received by mail or email and prepare the card to be mailed, if all necessary information was included with the application.

TexShare Card
Quote:
2. USE YOUR TEXSHARE CARD
Each library also sets its own lending policies for visiting TexShare Card users. Before you visit another library, use Find-A-Library or the TexShare Card map to view its specific policies and restrictions. Many libraries restrict the type or number of materials that a visiting TexShare Card user may borrow. Others impose a minimum age requirement. Typically, libraries do not permit TexShare Card holders to download ebooks or eAudiobooks. Fines for late returns or lost materials apply to TexShare Card borrowers.

No downloads? - that sucks!
