Bill Analysis

This bill would modify a few procedures related to jury selection including the source of jury selection. This bill would also require commissioners court of a county that have adopted a plan to select jurors, to file their plan and any modifications with the Office of Court Administration of the Texas Judicial System. Under current law, clerks of the court are required to send a copy of the list of non-citizens, and non-residents who are ineligible for jury selection to various agencies that oversee the jury selection process. If this bill passes, the clerk would have to send one list of non-citizens, and an entirely different list of non-residents.
