Tex. Gov't Code Section 62.302
Drawing Names for Jury Service in Certain County Courts


(a)

The county judge or a judge of a county court at law may order the drawing of names from the jury wheel if the judge considers the number of prospective jurors already drawn to be insufficient or if an interchangeable general jury panel is not drawn as provided by Section 62.016 (Interchangeable Juries in Certain Counties), 62.017 (Interchangeable Jurors in Certain Other Counties), or 62.0175 (Interchangeable Jurors in Counties with a Single District Court and a Single County Court at Law with Concurrent Jurisdiction).

(b)

The prospective jurors whose names are drawn as provided by this section are available for service in the county court or county courts at law, as applicable, and for the period of time reasonably required for the trials in the applicable kind of court.

(c)

The county judge and a judge of a county court at law concurrently have the same power to determine and remedy a deficiency in the number of prospective jurors as the district judge designated to control a general jury panel as provided by Section 62.016 (Interchangeable Juries in Certain Counties), 62.017 (Interchangeable Jurors in Certain Other Counties), or 62.0175 (Interchangeable Jurors in Counties with a Single District Court and a Single County Court at Law with Concurrent Jurisdiction). Except as otherwise provided by this section, the applicable general provisions in Subchapter A that govern the drawing of names of prospective jurors by the district judge govern the drawing of names under this section.
