Commissioners discussed and acknowledged increasing jury pay to $40 for the second day and every day afterward that a person serves at court, as per the Texas Government Code, at their Sept. 3 meeting.

The increase is not expected to have a major impact on the county's 2013–14 fiscal year budget, District Clerk Lisa David said, as the state reimburses the county $34 per juror.

Jurors are still entitled to not less than $6 for the first day or fraction of a day they are in attendance in court, according to information from the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts office.
