You've got mail

By Silentshdw13 - 14/03/2016 23:00 - United States - Arlington

Today, after moving back in with my parents, I found out they had held on to a chunk of mail still being sent during the time I had been changing my old address. Included was a summons to jury duty. FML

Unless it works way differently in Texas than California, mail it back to the court with a letter of explanation, and they will just assign you a new date to appear.

Yikes! I hope you're not in too much trouble. I am surprised they didn't forward something that important to you. Good luck.

I would message them back as soon as possible. You can't play with them. I wish they would go more digital though. Mail is not easy to keep track of for everyone.

I would call the number and explain what happened, but you may still go before a clerk magistrate to decide whether they decide to go forward with charges. Bring one of your parents as a witness to that maybe they will just throw it out.
