Ignoring a jury summons can result in serious legal penalties in Texas: You can be fined from $100 to $1,000 for failing to answer the summons. If you fail to attend court without a reasonable excuse, you can be fined $100 to $500. Filing a false claim of exemption from jury service can also result in fines.

You can get excused for bias during a process called voir dire but that isn't as straightforward as saying “I'm biased” or “I think the defendant looks guilty.” If you think something that simple can get you out of jury duty in front of a judge and lawyers who have seen these tricks for many, many years, you are ...

Reasons for Being Excused from Jury Service Medical reasons. Public necessity. Undue hardship. Dependent care. Student Status. Military conflict. Other reason deemed sufficient by the court.

You have legal custody of a child/ children younger than 12 years of age and your jury service requires leaving the child/children without adequate supervision. You are a student of a public or private secondary school.
