No Verdicts – Season On Hold (March 16th – August 31st)
Current Plan: Trial jurors will be congregated at NRG Arena on or near September 1, 2020 and jury selection will take place at NRG. Parking will be free for all participants (lawyers, jurors, clerks). Once the jury is selected the trial itself will be held the next working day at the criminal courthouse. Criminal jury trials will take precedence over civil jury trials. They will have pre-screening at the NRG door and masks will be mandatory to enter. (Judges have discretion on the masks once jurors are within their voir dire space.) These plans are tentative depending on spike of COVID cases. Also, the Harris County Criminal Lawyers Association has reservations about the above process since they were excluded from any and all input.
