Jury summons received for next week, Tuesday.
Part of me wants to do my civic duty on a jury.
Another part of me fears the unspeakable horror of being on a jury for two weeks to render a judgement on a prick vs. a bitch physicians divorcing one another. A friend lived, miserably, through such an experience.
I need advice.
How do I get the attorney's to say "No freaking way" to having me on a jury???
I considered an AR-15 t-shirt and tin foil hat but, these days, that would get me an unwelcome home visit from a governmental agency.
The only time I was not picked, I had my golf clubs in the car and the weather was perfect.I’ve been called every year for several years. I always make sure to wear a nice blazer with a Punisher t shirt underneath. Never been picked.

What illegals can't serve? They can practically do anything else.Here you go.
"QUALIFICATIONS FOR JURY SERVICE
(Texas Government Code, Section 62.102)
To be qualified to serve as a juror you must:
1. be at least 18 years of age;
2. be a citizen of the United States;
3. be a resident of this state and a resident of the county in which you are to serve as a juror;
4. be qualified under the Constitution and laws to vote in the county in which you are to serve as a juror (Note: You do not have to be registered
to vote to be qualified to vote.);
5. be of sound mind and good moral character;
6. be able to read and write;
7. not have served as a juror for six days during the preceding three months in the county court or during the preceding six months in the district
court; and
8. not have been convicted of, or be under indictment or other legal accusation for, misdemeanor theft or a felony"
Reads like saying you aren't of good moral character will get you off. Talk about jury nullification, that usually makes you disappear too.
