Government Code Section 25.0232 dictates that the District Clerk’s office shall be the clerk of the district courts and the county courts. Therefore, in Brazos County, all filings and documents for misdemeanor and felony cases are the responsibility of the district clerk’s office.

The District Clerk’s office is also responsible for the jury selection processes. In Brazos County, the District Clerk’s office has set up a Jury Services Office to deal with the day-to-day workings of petit jury selection (petit jurors serve in justice of the peace courts, county courts, and district courts).

This includes overseeing the arrangement of a jury, the selection of names for a jury and the payment of jurors. The arrangement, selection and payment of grand juries are still handled within the main part of the district clerk’s office (grand juries decide if there is enough evidence for a case to proceed to trial).
