United States District Court – SDTX

I was called for Federal jury duty with the US District Court, Southern District of Texas at the historic courthouse in downtown Galveston, TX. The judge was kind and pleasant, and I feel he exemplified everything our forefathers had in mind when this court was established in 1846. The woodwork and fixtures were amazing. I really wanted to take pictures! Since they offer tours I may have to take advantage of this and see if they will allow a picture or two in the future. To schedule a tour when court is not in session or to check the dockets to attend an open court case please call the District Clerk’s office at 409−766−3530.
As a reminder to those using social media please do not comment on any case and if you are serving on a jury, do not search for or read any news related to the case.
