Issue: Webb County currently implements a one-step jury process method, which means jurors cannot be determined disqualified until arrival.
Solution: Upgrade to a two-step method which is more efficient, creates less inconvenience for jurors, saves the county money and the juror yield increases to 90% or higher.
Result: All jurors instructed to appear are qualified, which eliminates delays on appearance day.
