Harris County Commissioners Court opted not to pay $6 starting in 2011 as a cost-cutting measure. So jury pay went from $40 to $28 in 2011. The state added $2 more in September 2012, bringing it to $30. Jury pay now rises to $40 a day, with $34 coming from the state and $6 from the county.
Under new legislation an $800 fine will be imposed for people who do not turn up for jury duty when summonsed. Individual employers will face fines of up to $10,000 and companies up to $50,000.
