City of Austin Municipal Court Juror Notice (Revised 06/3/2025)
Dear Jury Panel Member:
Your juror registration form has been reviewed. You are qualified to serve as a juror. You have been assigned to Austin Municipal Court. It is your legal duty to report as directed and be on time. Failure to report may result in a special appearance before a judge, a substantial fine, and/or being rescheduled for jury duty for another date/time. If an emergency arises that prevents you from reporting, please call (512) 974-4800 or email [email protected] as soon as possible. Any other requests to be excused as a juror may be presented to the judge at the scheduled court appearance time. While the presiding judge is listed above, a different judge may be assigned on the day of the trial.
Do not schedule any additional activities starting on or a business day after the report date. Most trials at Municipal Court conclude in one day or less. The dates you provided as conflict dates to serve on jury duty have been accommodated.
