The following is taken verbatim from text messages between my mother and myself.

Mum: Guess who got a jury summons from the state of Texas?
Me: Oh that sucks!
Mum: YOU DID.
Me: OH NO
Mum: Seriously, you are due to report to the courthouse in two weeks.
Mum: I will be so glad to see you!
Me: Funny. Can you send it to me?
Mum: Tell them you hate Amazon.com and they'll let you off.
Mum: It's like hating America
Me: I'm an anarchist and a commie!
Mum: That's my boy. When you got a letter from the Sheriff's office I thought you'd gotten a ticket
Mum: Eating cupcakes in a no-cupcake zone
Me: I'm a rebel without a fork.
Mum: I'll bring you cookies in jail.

THANKS MUM.

Fortunately, in Austin at least, you can exempt yourself from jury duty online, and they accept "I do not live in Texas" as a valid excuse.

I didn't know you could keep your license w/an out-of-state address ;-) But hey, whatever it takes to avoid jury duty ;-)

And your conversation w/your mum is priceless!!

Well, the license has my parents' address on it, they live in Texas.

Though I did once get a California DL with a Texas address on it, because the CA DMV is stupid. :D

LOL Oh well... whatever works, IMO ;-) (Although "works" may not actually be an accurate word in describing most DMVs ;-))
