Passport Forms

I have a passport card but need a passport book...

Will I have to apply for the book as a first time applicant or can I renew by mail and send in my passport card? What are the fees if it is considered a renewal? Will I receive my passport card back along with the new book or will they keep the card?

Answer:
Yes, you can use your passport card in order to apply for a passport book. In this case, you would apply for a passport renewal by mail.

The application to complete is form DS-82. Along with this, you need to submit your passport card, one passport photo and payment of $110 for the application fee.

Finally, your passport card will be returned to you. The two passports may arrive in different envelopes and, possibly, different days.

Jury Service as a Civic Duty and a Privilege
Your participation is important to Texas!

Both the Constitution of the United States and the Texas Constitution guarantee the right to a trial by jury. That right has long been considered a fundamental safeguard of each American's civil liberties. With your participation as a Texas juror, our constitutional right to an impartial jury is protected. As noted by the Honorable Tom C. Clark, Texan and former justice of the United States Supreme Court, "The jury system improves the quality of justice and is the sole means of keeping its administration attuned to community standards."

Jury service is a privilege that offers the average citizen an unequaled opportunity to influence and deliberate over fundamental matters of justice. As a juror, you are in a position of responsibility. You will need to be fair, impartial, and be willing to make decisions that are not based on your personal feelings and biases.

"The men and women who are called upon to serve on juries in both our federal and state courts have maintained a standard of fairness and excellence throughout the history of our country. They have demonstrated a vision and a will toward the administration of justice that is a wellspring of inspiration."

-U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice Earl Warren (1962)

Advice for your First Day of Service

Be sure that you know where you are supposed to report. If you are unfamiliar with the courthouse and its surroundings you should carefully review the instructions that are included with summonses. You might also contact the judge or the district clerk's office or check the local web page for additional information.

Your attire should show respect for the court. Because you may serve on a jury the first day you report to serve, you should wear clothing reasonably befitting the dignity and solemnity of the court proceedings. Local judges may restrict certain attire, such as shorts, cutoff, sleeveless shirts, sandals, and hats. Also, you should dress comfortably because you may be in the courthouse for the entire day.

You might also bring a light sweater or jacket in case the temperature in the courthouse is somewhat cold.

Because jury duty involves some waiting, bring something to read to help you pass the time.

Be aware that you will likely be asked to shut off pagers and cellular phones before entering the jury room or courtroom.

Why did I receive a summons and what do I do now?

State law mandates the process for selecting prospective jurors. Each county receives a list of potential jurors from the Secretary of State that consists of those individuals in the county that are registered to vote, hold a Texas driver's license, or hold a Texas identification card. Citizens on the list are randomly selected and mailed a summons to report for jury service.

You will be asked to return the completed questionnaire to the court by bringing the completed questionnaire with you when you report for jury service.
