Galveston County Juror Donation Program 

Texas Government Code §61.003 prescribes provisions relating to the donation of a prospective juror of the daily reimbursement for jury service. As required by the law, two charities are included as options for consideration by jurors:

• Victims of Crime Fund; and

• The County's Child Welfare Board

This statute also includes a provision for any other program selected by the Commissioner's Court that is operated by a public or private nonprofit organization and that provides shelter and services to victims of family violence; and any other program approved by the Commissioner's Court, including a program established under Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Article 56.04(t), that offers psychological counselling to jurors in criminal cases involving graphic evidence or testimony; or a veteran's court program established by the Commissioner's Court as provided by Chapter 124 of the Texas Government Code.

To be considered for this program, please complete the Galveston County Juror Donation Program online application.
