There have been no live jury trials in the area since the COVID-19 outbreak in March, fearing an outbreak of the virus. In 2019, there were 22 jury trials in the county.
Bexar County’s Local Administrative Judge Ron Rangel said, “It’s absolutely encouraging to see progress,” as he discussed the Kendall County trial.
Rangel said conducting live jury trials in Bexar County will depend solely on COVID-19 statistics.
“The benchmark for us to consider bringing back live jury trials would be a positivity rate of 5% or less,” Rangel said.
