Jurors are selected electronically at random from a list compiled by the
Secretary of State's Office, utilizing a list of voter registrations
and a list of driver's license registrations from this County. Please
read your summons carefully. The exemptions and disqualifications for
petit jury service are stated on the summons (see example below). If
any disqualification applies to you, you cannot serve. You must circle
the disqualification and return the card to the District Clerk. If any
exemption applies to you, you do not have to claim it and you may
serve. If you claim an exemption or disqualification, please do so
immediately upon receipt of your summons. Please circle the appropriate
number, then sign and date the summons and return it to the District
Clerk.
For all individuals not claiming a disqualification or exemption, please
appear on time, and BRING YOUR SUMMONS with you when you report (with
the questionnaire portion completed.) IT IS IMPORTANT that you call the
JURY INFORMATION NUMBER printed on the front of your summons the
weekend/day prior to your summons date for updates. Please note that our office does not provide updates for a jury panel summoned by County Court at Law.
