Did not receive jury summons in mail
If you did not receive a jury summons in the mail, there are a few steps you can take to resolve the issue:
- Check your mail: Double-check your mailbox and surrounding areas to ensure that the summons was not misplaced or stuck in a pile of mail.
- Contact the court: Reach out to the court that sent the summons and inform them that you did not receive it. You can usually find the contact information for the court on the summons or on the court's website. Explain the situation and ask if they can resend the summons or provide an alternative way to respond.
- Check your voter registration: If you're registered to vote, you may have already been summoned for jury duty. Check your voter registration card or online voter registration portal to see if you've been summoned.
- Contact your local DMV: If you've recently moved or changed your address, it's possible that the summons was sent to your old address. Contact your local DMV to see if they have any information about the summons.
- Check online: Some courts may have an online portal where you can check your jury duty status or respond to a summons. Check the court's website to see if this option is available.
- Contact a jury administrator: If you're unable to reach the court directly, you can try contacting a jury administrator or a court clerk's office. They may be able to assist you in resolving the issue.
Remember to keep a record of your attempts to contact the court and any correspondence you receive. This can help you track the progress of your inquiry and ensure that you're not missing any important deadlines.
If you're unable to resolve the issue and still haven't received a summons, you may need to appear in court to explain the situation. Be prepared to provide proof of your attempts to contact the court and any other relevant documentation.
