Dallas County District Attorney Craig Watkins reports for jury duty Monday.
The Secretary of State prepares county jury lists every two and a half years by sorting through Texas driver's licenses, state identification cards and voter registration records.
Watkins reported to the Frank Crowley Court Building's Central Jury Room at 8:30 a.m. Monday.
We have to assume Watkins won't be serving on a jury. After all, he wouldn't make a good juror for any car theft cases. Watkins made headlines in October when his Mercedes G-Class 500 was stolen from his DeSoto home. The luxury SUV was recovered a half mile from his house the next day.
The question is how long will it take for the county's top prosecutor to be excused?
Watkins, a Democrat, has been Dallas County's District Attorney since January 2007. He narrowly won re-election last November.
