What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
Sorry if this is the wrong section, wasn't sure where to post this and couldn't find any definitive answers anywhere else online.
I have a jury summons next week and was planning to take a backpack with a couple of books to read as well as a lunchbox with food and drink. I am going by myself so I will not have anyone to hold my things for me. The summons is at noon however since I'm not going to be working that day anyway I figured I would sleep in, have breakfast at 11, and then lunch at 3ish or whenever there is a break. I have a few food allergies so I cannot eat food from restaurants or vending machines and this is why I must bring my own.
I was wondering if these 2 things (taking a backpack, and taking food) are allowed or not.
I am assuming women are allowed to bring purses and men would therefore be allowed to bring bags, however I want to be 100% sure before I show up with a bag and a lunchbox only to be told I can't bring it in and have to come back another time (or worse, be told I have to leave my bag outside the court room where it will surely be stolen!).
Thank you.
