House Bill 1204 amends the Government Code to authorize a prospective juror, on signing a form letter, to designate a portion of the juror's per diem payment to be donated to the victims of crime fund, the county child welfare board, a battered women's shelter, a safe house, or any other program approved by the county commissioners court. The bill requires the form letter to include a blank in which a prospective juror may enter the amount of the daily reimbursement that the juror wishes to donate.
