Required to answer what religion on TX juror questionnaire?

[RockRaven]

10. Texas is one of those "shithole" places where religious tests are baked into the constitution.

Article 1 Section 4 of the Texas state constitution reads:

"Art 1 - Sec 4
Article 1 - BILL OF RIGHTS
Section 4 - RELIGIOUS TESTS
No religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office, or public trust, in this State; nor shall any one be excluded from holding office on account of his religious sentiments, provided he acknowledge the existence of a Supreme Being."


Of course, being a juror isn't an "office." Whether or not it counts as a "public trust" is something a lawyer or con law person (i.e. not me) could tell you.

Nevertheless, you could invoke the principle and say "I meet the criteria of Article 1 Section 4 of the Texas Constitution. That's all I have to tell you! I know my rights!!!" Whether or not you want to fuck around with that kind of response is something only you can answer.
