In Texas, you can be fined anywhere between $100 and $1,000 for failing to appear for jury duty, depending on the circumstances surrounding your failure to appear and how many times you've done so in the past.
Reasons for Being Excused from Jury Service Medical reasons. Public necessity. Undue hardship. Dependent care. Student Status. Military conflict. Other reason deemed sufficient by the court.
If you forget to show up for jury duty they'll send you another strongly worded letter in the mail. Use Google to find the real phone number for the court that is allegedly summoning you and ask them if they've got a summons for you.

While courts will most likely avoid issuing severe penalties for your first time skipping out, there can still be penalties. After failing to appear for jury duty the first time, the court will likely send you a second summons.
You will report to the Central Jury Room of your assigned location on the date and time you are summoned to appear. Please complete your Juror Affidavit Questionnaire before arriving for jury duty, online if possible.
JURIES CAN BE SYMPATHETIC Unlike an impartial judge, the panel of individuals on your jury could be swayed by emotion and personal experience. This may work in your favor. If you have been overcharged for the crime in question or are a sympathetic defendant, some jurors may be more likely to back you.
