I work with someone who is Irish with a green card. He votes in every single election except for President. Legally.
You're wrong. And I'm right.

So I did some googling: A green card is not enough in Texas (and a bunch of other states). However if you have "declared your intent to become a citizen" (which is a formal legal step, you just "declare" it like Michael Scott declares bankruptcy), you can vote.
So your friend is probably on his path to citizenship. Or breaking the law and getting away with it!

Fake News again, Sad!
Your friend if doing this in Texas, is 100% in error:

When applicants obtain green cards in the U.S., this entitles them to apply for a driver’s license. In Texas, as in many states, when individuals apply for driver’s licenses, they are asked if they would like to register to vote. Many immigrants understandably assume at this point that they are entitled to vote because voter registration has been offered to them. They register to vote and, in some cases, actually vote in national and local elections.
Understandably assume...but incorrectly

In Texas, when you register to vote, the materials ask for verification that you are a citizen and entitled to vote. By completing the voter registration application, you are wrongfully claiming to be a U.S. citizen.
