Justice ultimately depends to a large measure upon the quality of the jurors who serve on our courts. It is one of the most important civic duties a citizen can perform, and this site is intended to make the process as smooth and efficient as possible. The Jury Services website is intended to inform potential jurors what is expected of them as a potential juror, what is involved in jury duty, what they can expect should they be selected, and how to prepare for jury duty. Jurors are selected at random from a list of Bexar County voter registrations and driver registrations. As a juror, you must be fair and impartial. Your actions and decisions must be free of any bias or prejudice. Your actions and decisions are the foundation of our judicial system. Any person charged with a criminal offense or any party to a civil case has a right to a jury trial. All parties are equal before the law and each is entitled to the same fair treatment. LOCATION Jury duty is located in the basement of the Justice Center, across the hall from the cafeteria.
