Facing a Texas injury lawsuit? Understanding the jury system is crucial. Here’s Texas attorney Ryan Orsatti to shed light on the crucial role jurors play in your civil injury case:
The Jury Size Showdown: District vs. County Courts
- District Court: Brace yourself for a powerhouse jury of 12. These courts handle significant personal injury cases with potentially life-changing damages.
- County Courts, Probate Courts, Justice of the Peace Courts, Municipal Courts: These courts tackle smaller civil cases with juries of typically 6 jurors.
Securing a Verdict: The Power of Numbers
- Texas Twist: Unlike criminal cases requiring a unanimous verdict, civil cases (including personal injury) can be decided by a majority vote.
- District Court: In the high-stakes arena of district court, at least 10 out of 12 jurors must agree on the verdict.
- County Courts: Here, at least 5 out of 6 jurors must be in consensus for a verdict.
