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.
Pursuant to law, the state will pay jurors a fee of $40.00 for each day of physical attendance with the following exceptions: Exception # 1. Jurors who are employed CANNOT be paid a jury fee for any day(s) on which they receive regular wages unless their regular wage is less than $40.00. In that case, the state will pay the difference between the jurors' wage and the $40.00 fee. Exception # 2. Jurors who work for an employer with more than 10 employees MUST be paid, by their employer, at least $40.00 or their regular daily wage - whichever is less - for each of the first three days* of service.
