Background and Discussion: : Jury service expenses set by the commissioners’ court under Section 61.001(f).  A reimbursement for expenses under this section is not a property right of a person who reports for jury service for purposes of Chapter 72(Abandonment of Personal Property) and Chapter 74(Report, Deliver, and Claims Process), property code.  If a check, instrument, or other method of payment authorized under Section 113.048(Disbursement of Money for Jury Service), Local Government Code, representing a reimbursement under this section is not presented for payment or redeemed before the 90th day after it is issued:

(1)                     the instrument or other method of payment is considered forfeited and is VOID; and

(2)                     the money represented by the instrument or other method of payment may be placed or retained in the county’s jury fund, the county’s general fund, or any other fund in which county funds can be legally placed, at the discretion of the commissioner’s court.
