Caption on the source for the image is helpful:

Texas Department of Public Safety officers guard the women’s bathroom and ask some individuals to show ID to enter at the Capitol in Austin on Dec. 6, 2025. Members of 6W Project protested the newly enacted Senate Bill 8 “bathroom bill” by checking what the enforcement measures to enter the bathroom would be at the Capitol. SB 8, also known as the Texas Women’s Privacy Act, is aimed at restricting transgender people’s access to certain restrooms in the state, and went into effect on Dec. 4, 2025.

So yes, ID required just to enter the building, and guarding the women's bathroom entrance?

and ask some individuals to show ID to enter

They choose who have to show their ID.
