parents were still both receiving them regulary after we moved away and the only reason my dad no longer does is because he passed away 4 years ago. My Mom just received her 19th summons in 22 years and has served on 6 juries. At least they have a maximum age in Corpus. It used to be 65, and she was almost 65 when they changed it to 70. She's 67 now so she has a few more years of this to put up with. I don't think even the people here who say they are disgusted by anyone trying to get out of it would be fine with the idea of being summoned nearly every year for that many years. And not for one second do I believe it's just a coincidence that our family has received so many jury summons in Corpus Christi. The names may be randomly selected, but I believe there are a lot of names that pop up over and over and over, because we are honest, law-abiding, and because we show up every time. That is our reward for doing our duty. That is abuse! And what about the many citizens who meet all the same criteria for being a potential juror who rarely or NEVER receive a summons. I have read that software/systems that are developed to select jury summons recipients are very complicated and it's hard to make it fair. It can't be that complicated! There are really smart people out there
