Rules & Decorum

When appearing for Jury Service, all court participants are required to adhere to the Court's Rules and Decorum protocol.

Why Did I Receive a Jury Summons?

State law governs the process for selecting prospective jurors. A voter registration file from Dallas and Collin County residents of Richardson, Texas is updated every four years. Citizens are randomly selected from this list and mailed a Jury Summons requiring them to appear for in-person Jury Service.

Jury Service Requirements:

When reporting for Jury Service, you must bring your Jury Summons notice with you to court.

Exemptions from Jury Duty:

A person may claim an exemption from Jury Duty if they:

• Are 75 years of age or older (Effective 9/1/2023, HB 2015 changed the exemption age from 70 to 75)
• Have legal custody of a child under 12 years of age, and Jury Service would require leaving the child without adequate supervision
• Are a student at a public or private secondary school
• Are enrolled and attending an institution of higher learning
• Are the primary caretaker of an invalid who is unable to care for themselves

These exemptions are optional—you may still choose to serve on a jury panel even if you qualify for an exemption.

How to Request an Exemption:

To claim an exemption online, click the Jury Portal link provided above or to request it in writing, download the Juror Exemption Form, complete it, and submit it to the Richardson Municipal Court.
