Join Harris County District Clerk Marilyn Burgess, along with Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez, Honorable Judge Latosha Lewis Payne, Honorable Judge Rabeea Collier, and District Courts Administrator Richard Woods on Wednesday, November 13th at 10:00 a.m. for a ceremony to reconstitute the Harris County Jury Wheel.

Traditionally referred to as the jury wheel, this is the database from which Harris County residents are randomly selected to be summoned as potential jurors for District Courts, County Courts, and Justice of the Peace courts, as well as for grand juries. The database of potential jurors includes all persons who have a Texas Driver's License, or a State of Texas Identification Card, or are registered to vote in Harris County. This ceremony entails the electronic reset of this database and the signing of the pertinent documents.

This event will be livestreamed on the Harris County District Clerk page (Facebook.com/hcdistrictclerk) beginning at 10:00 a.m. We hope to see you there!

✨Congratulations to our newest Employees of the Week, our Juvenile Court Staff! ✨

Check out what IVD and Juvenile Courts/Intake Supervisor Aquanette Davis had to say:

“The Juvenile Court Staff has been patient and supportive with the change in management. I have been in the position for a short period of time, and they have been very open to me coming over. If I have any questions, the team is available. When short staffed, they don’t mind bumping and sliding into another court or Intake when needed. The Juvenile Court Staff is very team oriented and always promote a positive environment. With Juvenile being as busy as they are, they still found the time to assist with my learning and training in the Department. They have helped me adapt by being just the team players that they are and being positive. That truly helps in an office environment. Everyone ensures their courts are taken care of even if they have to work through lunch to assist the judges and stay late in the event of late filed emergencies. They also show professionalism in their work and their work areas are neat and organized.”

Way to go, Juvenile Court Staff! Thank you for all you do. 🎉🥳
