where can i get a copy of the texas senate bill 19/357?


That’s not a valid bill number. Texas numbers bills starting with either an SB or HB (or SR, HR, etc for resolutions) and a single number assigned sequentially for bills introduced in a given session. 2005 was the 79th session, so session 19 would be 1945, which is not available online (their online docs go back to 1998). If you mean SB357 for the 19th congress, you’d need to go to your local library.

If you know the title or subject of the bill, you can search for it via http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/tlo/legislation/bill_status.htm

I was thinking maybe you meant that you’re looking for a Texas legislation . . . maybe chapter 19, article 357? But article 19 (Code of Criminal Proceedings) only has 104 articles. (http://www.capitol.state.tx.us/statutes/cr.toc.htm)

Maybe you’re looking for Chapter 19, Article 26, "Jury Impaneled"? This is the only article in chapter 19 that contains the number 357; I think that refers to the docket page on which this legislation first appeared.

Art. 19.26. [357] [408] [396] JURY IMPANELED.
(a) When fourteen qualified jurors are found to be present, the court shall proceed to impanel the grand jury, unless a challenge is made, which may be to the array or to any particular person presented to serve as a grand juror or an alternate.
(b) The grand jury is composed of not more than twelve qualified jurors. In addition, the court shall qualify and impanel not more than two alternates to serve on disqualification or unavailability of a juror during the term of the grand jury. On learning that a grand juror has become disqualified or unavailable during the term of the grand jury, the attorney representing the state shall prepare an order for the court identifying the disqualified or unavailable juror, stating the basis for the disqualification or unavailability, dismissing the disqualified or unavailable juror from the grand jury, and naming one of the alternates as a member of the grand jury. The procedure established by this subsection may be used on disqualification or unavailability of a second grand juror during the term of the grand jury. For purposes of this subsection, a juror is unavailable if the juror is unable to participate fully in the duties of the grand jury because of the death of the juror or a physical or mental illness of the juror.
