The Houston Municipal Courts Department is streamlining its jury management system.
Beginning March 9, potential jurors will be directed to respond online through a juror portal and will be paid via a debit card, instead of a traditional check by mail.
What’s different?
Residents will now receive a postcard-style summons via the mail. They will then be prompted to respond through an online juror portal, which allows individuals to complete their juror questionnaire and submit their requests for exemptions or disqualifications online, according to a March 6 news release.
