Sec. 62.108.  PERMANENT EXEMPTION FOR ELDERLY.  (a)  A person who is entitled to exemption from jury service because the person is over 75 years of age may establish a permanent exemption on that ground as provided by this section or Section 62.107.
(b)  A person may claim a permanent exemption:
(1)  by filing with the voter registrar of the county, by mail or personal delivery, a signed statement affirming that the person is over 75 years of age and desires a permanent exemption on that ground; or
(2)  in the manner provided by Section 62.107(c).
(c)  The voter registrar of the county shall maintain a current register indicating the name of each person who has claimed and is entitled to a permanent exemption from jury service because the person is over 75 years of age.
(d)  The name of a person on the register of persons permanently exempt from jury service may not be placed in the jury wheel or otherwise used in preparing the record of names from which a jury is selected.
(e)  A person who has claimed a permanent exemption from jury service because the person is over 75 years of age may rescind the exemption at any time by filing a signed request for the rescission with the voter registrar of the county.  Rescission of a permanent exemption does not affect the right of a person who is over 75 years of age to claim permanent exemption at a later time.
