When I arrived we lined up and they tore off one little juror card and we were all immediately excused "due to Covid"! The court attendants were all very nice. So, I did go through security so I could use the restroom and then I was on my way back to Dart to catch the train home. I've never been here for Jury Duty, I've always gone to Frank Crowley in the past. The building and hallways looked very clean and the restroom was spotless.

Justice is served! Recently, I got a bogus ticket from the…read moreDallas Police Department for the alleged violation of parking in a bike lane. I knew I was innocent. I just had to get the judge on my side on this and make them see things how I see things. They say that a man who represents himself in court has a fool for a client. Well, this fool fought the law, and won! Now, the prosecution (the City of Dallas) has to prove guilt, and I shouldn't have to prove my innocence. However, the officer who wrote the violation wrote a violation for violating a non-existent law! There is no law on the books of the City of Dallas that prohibits you from parking in a bike lane. Park away! Being from out of town, I wrote the judge a quick letter on the back of my ticket, and a few weeks later, I received notification from Dallas Municipal Court that all charges had been dropped! Justice is served.

What they don't tell you is that the first appearance is just a room with a kid da who calls you up and offers you options to take care of the citation. what? it's massive waste of time for the general public. you're put in a position where you're frustrated and have to plan on coming back at a later date as well as learn the process of discovery. It's actually hilarious but in my opinion a little predatory. they are using fear and delay to push most of the nervous and no educated public to just accept it. I received a simple speeding ticket and it should've been handled like all tickets are and the cop should've been there at the first appearance. this court also needs to check their da, rules, and processes. The DA came in, slouched down in his chair, chewing gum, and overall just not very engaging. Times have def changed in the courts. The. mix in the fact that the bailiff allows men in shorts (against rules), flip flops on many women, and nonstop people walking in and out of proceedings. The positive is you can choose a deferred adjudication and pay a smaller fine to wipe the ticket away. Do better Dallas

In the 21st century, it's hard to believe that there were times when women were considered second…read moreclass citizens and it wasn't all that long ago. Yes, that happened. This marker points out one of the points in time where it changed. The marker is in front of the Old Red Courthouse, facing South Record Street. It reads, "Although the ratification of the 19th amendment to the U.S. Constitution granted women the right to vote in 1920, women were not permitted to serve on juries in Texas until 1954. Efforts to add women to jury lists began soon after passage of the 19th amendment, when it became clear that the right of jury service would not be granted to women along with the right of suffrage. These efforts hastened during the 1930s and 1940s. During this time, local newspapers drew attention to the issue by reporting on women who were called to jury duty by mistake, and the Dallas Morning News pointed out the absurdity of a system that would allow female district judges but denied those same women the right to sit on a jury. "The amendment to the Texas Constitution requiring that women serve on grand and petit juries was finally approved by voters on November 2, 1954. Although women were not officially added to the Dallas County jury selection lists until August of 1955, women who continued to be called to duty "by mistake" had the right to serve for the first time. In November 1954, Adelyne Dransfield, the sole female member of the jury on which she was serving, was elected as one of the first female jury "foremen" in Dallas County. The first occasions for women to serve on juries in Dallas County were key steps in the ongoing struggle for gender equality and the achievement of full citizenship rights for women in Dallas and throughout the nation. The first women to serve on juries in Dallas County asserted their right to complete this very important job of citizenship with legitimacy and confidence." This is marker 15464 and it was erected in 2008 by the Texas Historical Commission. There is metered street parking nearby. [Review 768 of 2024 - 526 in Texas - 21799 overall]

One of the sheriff deputies had a fantastic sense of humor. (He was once a cook in the Army.) He kept us smiling and smirking. Thank you, as jury duty is quite full of seriousness. Humor lightens sitting in the jury pool room as all hope they will not be picked. Just before lunch, all of us were released. We did the civic duty by being there, if needed.

You just walk in the building via the parking garage, go up the escalator, and then through the metal detectors. After going through the metal detectors, your path will change depending on where you're headed. For people with jury duty, you proceed to the right and check in with the staff there. I much preferred my jury duty at Allen over Crowley. Once I checked in, I received a bit more information and headed to the main room where all other potential jurors were sent. Usually my luck runs out but not on the day of my most recent jury duty. Not only did I find out the good news that I passed my principal certification exam, I also got dismissed from jury duty and had a free day from work. Once you throw in the fat $6 check I later received in the mail, I came out winning. Oh wait, you have to deduct $3 for parking. But still, I got a free day from work for being dismissed from jury duty and I made 3 bucks? #winning
