They go off driver license address now.
You should be able to mail that back in with correction.

I've showed up several times when summoned, and I've not shown up a few times when summoned. I've been picked to sit on the jury a couple of times, and both times soured me on the system.......mostly because of how much of my time was wasted, on stuff that it seemed to me, should and could have been addressed before the case ever got to court.

The remainder or the random ones left are the jury.
Point being they end up with who they want by eliminating those they don't. Make no mistake, they are chosing them.

I've been summoned 3 times, but never picked. It can be somewhat a waste of a day (or even longer if picked), but depending on the case, sometimes it's a bit interesting.
The only thing that peeves me a bit is in Harris County, you pay more in parking fees for the day, than the $10 you get for showing up. I ended up just donating the $10 to some veterans cause or something, but the parking charges should be waived for people called in for their civic duty.

I have been summoned about 5 times. Served on 2. One made me mad because after being picked, going to lunch, they decided to settle (actually dropped the charges). One was a DWI case (as it turns out his 4th) we found him not guilty due to he followed commands and when distracted by a car driving through the test site went back to the command. The reason they pulled him over is because it was 3am and he was at Burger King and the police officer said nobody goes to BK at that time of the morning unless they have been to a bar.

I’ve been called for jury duty prob 8-10 times over the years. I will say the one year I got picked for grand jury, I enjoyed the experience. Can’t say every case was enjoyable, but was cool to see how it all worked. I asked the DA what they did with people that didn’t show…he said if you couldn’t take the time to show up, he didn’t want you on a jury anyway.

And I had so much time
To sit and post about myself

Like legal cherry pie
Yeah there she was
Like plea bargain superfly
I smell sex and cornbread here
Who's that lounging in the foreman's chair
Who's that casting felonious stares
In my direction
TBH this surely is a dream
TBH'ers this surely is a dream
TBH I had way too many beans
Hangin' 'round at the courtroom by myself
And I've been postin' 'bout myself
And then there she was
In pantsuit double suede
Yeah there she was
Like prosecutorial lemonade
I smell sex and appeals here
Who's that sleeping in the judge's chair
Who's that casting misdemeanor stares
In my direction
TBH this surely is a dream
Jury pool this surely is a dream
Verdict
Bailiff/reporter/nosy lady this surely is a dream
I smell sex and gavels here
How'd they pick me for this chair
And who's that casting gang member stares
In my direction?
TBH this surely is a dream
Dig it
Your honor this surely is a dream
Incompetent defense this surely is a dream
Weak prosecutor this must be my dream
Blame it all on Kyle's toots
he showed up in boots
And ruined the criminal court air
The last one to know
The last one to blow
He was the last one
The bailiff thought he could scare
And we saw the surprise
And the tears in his eyes
When he squeezed his buttcheeks real tight
And Kyle pooted two, said judge "you might want to sue
Cause you'll never again breathe right"
Kyle's got gas in law places
Where the cabbage drowns
And the beans chases his friends away
And he'll be okay
He's not shy about polluting places
Think he'll squeeze one out and burn the jury's faces
Oh, Kyle's got gas in law places
Well, I guess I was wrong
Kyle just farts out a song
But then, he's stunk up TBH before
Everything's all right
He'll just say goodnight
And we'll all fight our way to the door
He didn't mean
To stink up the scene
Just give him a match and then
he'll fart in the aisle
That'll cause a mistrial
All because of the bean
'Cause Kyle's got gas in law places
Where the cabbage drowns
And the beans chases TBH'ers away
And he'll be okay
Kyle's not shy about polluting places
Think he'll sneak one out and burn the jury's faces
Oh, Kyle's got gas in law places

Originally posted by ThisLadyHunts View PostI would love to serve on a jury. I've been called only a couple or three times but never have I been selected. (I'm beginning to develop a bit of a complex at this point.)
I'd be curious to know what it is about me that they think renders me incapable or unwilling to deliver a fair and equitable decision because, IMHO, nothing could be further than the truth. In MY opinion, anyway. Humbly speaking.
