Parking Instructions for Jurors: Jurors may park at the Enrique Moreno County Courthouse parking garage, located at 500 E. Overland Ave. (Corner of Overland and Kansas) [view map]. Entrance is on Overland Ave. Jurors may also park at a city meter. The jury service staff will provide you with parking ticket waivers at the end of your service. Tickets you receive for unauthorized parking or while on private property will not be the responsibility of the court.
Public Transportation for Jurors: The City and County of El Paso have joined together to make jury service more convenient for you. A free bus pass, providing round trip service to Downtown, is included with the juror summons. The pass is valid only for date indicated.
What to wear: Jurors are requested to dress appropriately, i.e., no tank-tops, shorts, low-cut or "spaghetti strap" blouses, etc.
Breaks, Meals, and Medications: It is suggested that jurors reporting to jury duty eat breakfast as we do not know when or if the Court will break for lunch. For this reason you may also want to bring a snack and lunch. Further if you require any special medication due to health reasons, please bring those items with you.
Jury Selection
The Jury Selection Division randomly contacts thousands of El Paso County residents regarding possible jury duty, from names taken from Department of Motor Vehicles (drivers license and identification cards) and Voter Registration rosters. Returned questionnaires are audited to ascertain if required juror criteria are met and these are the persons who will be summoned to sit on jury panels. Actual juror selection is accomplished by the court and the attorneys at the start of the trial. Payment for those selected to serve is generated by this division.
