Jury duty is a valuable service to the community and is an important responsibility since jurors determine a defendant’s guilt or innocence and, in the case of a guilty finding, assess fines. Jury lists are created using names randomly selected from our water utility listing. Most Lake Jackson cases are concluded the same day. To serve as a juror you must meet the following qualifications:
- Be a citizen of Texas and a resident of Brazoria County in which you are to serve as a juror
