[QUOTE="T. MIKE SMITH, post: 3847631, member: 44552"] They waste a lot of time and I have been called 3 times in my 67 years to district court - 2 in Canadian Co. First time it was on an oil surface damage suit where my company was the appraisal firm that was hired to assess the damage. Second was a child custody suit where one of the attorneys had been my attorney on my child custody suit. Nedless to say. i was dismissed on those 2 and did not have to be at anything else. I was in San Antoinio on the 3rd one- your have to show up about 8am and stay in a large conference room like area until 4 pm. They tell you if you do that you are done for 3 years, unless you get selected on a trail that goes on for several days. They also tell you they will call role at the end of the day, and if you are not there, you are in contempt and will have to appear before a judge. I was selected to a jury and they linned us up and had us at the courtroom door, when the balliff said they made a settelment and the case was over- back to the room for a boring 6 hours. Glad I stayed though cause 2 people were not there for the role call and a order for their arest was made. [/QUOTE]
