I feel the same way

They told me the last time I showed up for jury duty that because of age, I would never be called again.

I've never dodged a jury summons, I've always enjoyed it.

That's interesting. The judge who did the intro at the beginning went through exemptions you could claim and one of those was if you are over the age of 70.

However he made it very clear that being over the age of 70 did not exclude you from service, it was an exemption that you could choose to exercise or not.

Another thing I found amusing was he said in English if you did not read or write or understand English you could be Exempted... but if they dont speak how would they know what he said? There was no translation verbal or written of this.

Guess I am exempt

Last time I was selected in Denton County, I made it as far as the voir dire process for a drug charge case. One of the attorneys asked me a question and I told them that based on what I'd heard so far, the defendant was clearly guilty and this seemed like a big waste of time. Dismissed! The elevator ride afterward with the defendant and his family was a little awkward.

In Tarrant County I was able to sign up online. Got an email a couple of days before I wouldn't be needed. Didn't have to go downtown and it fulfilled my jury duty. Have done it twice now.

You should have used Nathan on your jury questionnaire.

However it's not that unusual.

In Houston it�s $6.00
