I just got a notice for jury duty in 2 weeks and I already have a vacation planned with flights, hotels, etc.

Is there anyway to get out of it?

Do your civic duty. Quit enjoying democracy without doing your part.

Yep, just call them. Be prepared to prove your vacation plans if they ask.

You can go online and reschedule with no questions asked. You're alllowed to reschedule twice.

At least that's how it is here in Houston.

No, there is no way to get out of it. But there are easy ways to defer and reschedule it. Just contact them.

I've done it many times.

Show up in an F-250 King Ranch with truck nuts, a Yeti and Salt Life sticker with a confederate flag t shirt

Beyond that, when we think of what it is to be an American, surely among the most prominent features are how we conduct our foreign policy, including our wars, and how we resolve disputes between citizens, including this one. Before we think we're being asked to sacrifice too much, let's think of the sacrifices others have made, and let's look at this as an opportunity to express some of the reasons these people felt our country was worth dying for. Thank you-all very much.

As others have said, give them a call and be prepared to show proof of your vacation. They'll probably let you move it.

As far as serving jury duty, I suggest doing it. We need more people in those positions that have some damn sense.

Was the notice sent via regular mail? You can disregard if so Bc they can't prove you received it.

Yes, pretty easy especially if you have copies of your flight and hotel reservations that you could forward. Just call them and they should be able to excuse you

Yes, you will need to provide proof of the trip. They also told me the next time I was selected I would not be able to get out of it.

did it come in the mail? If so burn it. No way they can prove you received it.
