We're Here To Serve You

Thank you for visiting our new website. The design process is still ongoing and you may see changes on a daily basis while we diligently work to increase accessibility and ease of use on this site. To that end, and in an effort to provide greater access to public information, we have emphasized quick-links on the left hand navigation bar on each page. Further, we have listened to our customers and have added several features, including, but not limited to: the addition of search features to aid identification of parties, attorneys, and case status; the ability to read many civil documents online (we are continuing to work on Criminal Documents and hope to begin providing access sometime in the near future); the ability to manage jury service; and, answers to many frequently asked questions.

The online services that we are now providing have already saved many customers a trip downtown. Our highly competent Technical Services staff has been instructed to prioritize greater access to information on this site in a user-friendly manner. We would still appreciate and welcome your input regarding this website redesign. Please contact us with your comments, suggestions, or concerns regarding this website. Our mission is to serve you.

Loren Jackson, Harris County District Clerk

Jury Service is a Right and a Duty

Although the right to a jury trial is considered a fundamental safeguard of each American's constitutional liberties, the concept of a jury trial is hardly new, dating back to medieval England.

Jury Service is very important, and your jury summons puts you in the center of this most basic right of all Americans. However, sometimes serious scheduling conflicts arise. You can reschedule your jury service online or through our automated phone system immediately upon receiving your summons.
