What is a sour beer, and which to try Originally, beer was sour almost by accident. Then technology fixed that. Now, sour beers are coming back, on purpose. Check out this story on burlingtonfreepress.com: http://bfpne.ws/1tkq4bX.
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.
A bill that would have required employers to pay $40 of jury duty pay for the first day of jury service did not pass during the 81st general session of the Texas Legislature in 2009. The general rule under both Texas and federal law is that an employer does not need to pay for time not worked.
