City of Austin Municipal Court Juror Notice (Revised 12/4/2023)
Dear Jury Panel Member:
Your juror registration form has been reviewed. You are qualified to serve as a juror. You have been assigned to Austin Municipal Court. It is your legal duty to report as directed and on time. Failure to report may result in a special appearance before a judge, a substantial fine, and you being rescheduled for jury duty. If an emergency arises that prevents you from reporting, please call (512) 974-4800 or email [email protected] as soon as possible. Any other requests to be excused as a juror may be presented to the judge at the scheduled court appearance time. While the Presiding Judge is listed above, a different judge may be assigned the day of the trial.
Do not schedule any additional activities starting on or a business day after the report date. Most trials at Municipal Court conclude in one day or less. The dates you provided as conflict dates to serve on jury duty have been accommodated.
Location/Juror Parking:
The high-level map, below, provides the general roads in the vicinity of the Court which is found within the Bergstrom Tech Center complex. Please be sure to follow signage for the court upon entering the complex.
There is free and ample parking in the customer parking areas located on the south and east side of the Municipal Court (yellow highlights). There are also designated disabled parking spaces closer to the building.
Juror Parking & Court Entrance:

- A star marks the entrance to the court
- Arrows show the direction to drive to
- Highlight - parking, near the entrance
If you see the entrance, as imaged below, you’re at the right location!
NOTE: The west side of the building has red brick and has “310” listed prominently, but that is NOT the entrance to the court. Please do not park in that area, as you will have to drive to the east side of the building. There is no internal connection to enter the court from within the west side of the building.
Security Screening: There is security screening at the courthouse similar to that found at an airport. We recommend, that you leave behind any items that may cause an issue like pocketknives, food items, and utensils, drinks and liquids. We will provide complimentary bottles of water and coffee in the Juror Assembly Room. Vending machines are also available on site.
Clothing: We ask that jurors dress in business casual attire. Shorts, tank tops, flipflops, or t-shirts with offensive or inappropriate language or pictures, are NOT recommended. The court is a free WIFI site. You may use your electronic devices in the court; however, once jury process begins, laptops and cell phones may not be used. In the case of inclement weather or any other circumstances which may delay the opening of city departments to include Austin Municipal Court, please call 311 to verify hours of operation. Most importantly, THANK YOU for performing this essential service to your community.
