Can I be fired for jury duty?
No. Texas law says a private employer cannot fire a permanent employee for serving on a jury or grand jury. If it happens, you have the right to get your job back if you notify your employer promptly after being released (Civil Practice and Remedies Code § 122.001).
What happens if I ignore my summons?
If you don't respond or give false information to be excused, you can be fined $100-$1,000 (Government Code § 62.0141). If you don't show up without a good reason or file a false exemption, you can be fined $100-$500 (Government Code § 62.111; see also Code of Criminal Procedure Art. 19.16 and 35.01).
Why is jury service important?
The U.S. and Texas Constitutions guarantee the right to a fair trial by jury. Serving ensures every person, no matter their background, has the chance to be judged by an impartial group of citizens.
