Here, Texas, the reasons are listed on the back of the notice.

Any of those will get you out of the selected pool, the large number that are called.

If you don't qualify for that exemption, then you go to the next step, actually being assigned to a case. At that time you will be further questioned. The questions vary depending on the crime being tried. The more serious, the more carefully the jury is selected.

Last one I was called for was a s e x assault case. The entire room was asked by show of hands if they felt they had ever experienced that, about 2/3 of the women quickly raised their hands! Even a couple of the men did too!

Not sure if it was for real or just an attempt to get out of serving, no way to know, but I was surprised at the numbers and the willingness to share that. Some were quite emotional.

In the end, after all the drama, we were dismissed by alphabetical last names. It was close, but I was dismissed.

But since I was called, and was dismissed, I am subject to being called again at any time, only when you actually serve do you get off the list for a few years.
