Jurors are paid for their service
Each juror receives ten dollars ($20) for the first day of appearance and forty dollars ($58) for the second and any subsequent days of required appearance for jury service.
Jurors may donate their pay to a number of organizations that have been approved by the Wood County Commissioners Court and fall within the guidelines of the Texas Government Code.
Total juror donations disbursed to those local charitable organizations averages approximately $40,000 annually. *Payment is processed at the end of jury service, and a check is mailed to each juror within two to three weeks after their service is complete.*
