For Texas criminal and family defense lawyers
From juror cards to strike plan in one hour.
You get the panel's juror cards about an hour before voir dire. Voir Dire PDQ reads every card, ranks each juror by risk for your case, and gives you the questions to ask in open court. You walk in knowing who to remove.
How the hour goes
Six steps, in the order you work.
Each step is one screen. Nothing to install: it opens in a browser on a laptop or tablet.
- 1
Set up the case
Pick the trial type and offense. Choose the factors that matter for this case and how many points each one carries. Save it as a case and your co-counsel sees the same setup.
- 2
Read the juror cards
Photograph the cards, several at a time, or drop in the scanner PDF. The app learns your county's card format and reads each answer onto a clean juror card you can check against the original.
- 3
Get the strike plan
Every juror is rated High risk, Watch, Neutral or Favorable. Each flag points to the line on the card that caused it, with a follow-up question for open court.
- 4
Research who matters
Search links for the jurors likely to be reached, with the rules for looking without contacting a juror kept in front of you.
- 5
Ask the panel
Your panel questions, in your order. When cards go up, tap the juror numbers. Each raised hand changes that juror's score on the spot.
- 6
Work the courtroom
A seating chart that matches the room. Mark your strikes, the State's expected strikes, cause and hardship, and watch who lands on the jury.
Where it draws the line
It helps you decide. It does not decide.
Jury selection for the defense is about finding the people to remove. The app does the sorting so you can spend the hour on judgment.
No race, ethnicity, sex or religion
None of these is used to score a juror, and the app is built not to infer them. Batson applies to you, so it applies to the tool.
Every flag shows its source
You see the exact card line or raised hand behind each point. If a factor is wrong for your case, change its points or switch it off.
Juror cards stay on your device
Cards, photos, strike marks and research notes are kept in your browser, not in a shared account. Clear the panel when the trial ends.
Contact details are not kept
Phone numbers, email, street addresses, ID numbers and dates of birth on a card are not saved.
Straight answers
What lawyers ask first.
Where does juror information go?
To read a card, its photo is sent to the AI service the app runs on (Anthropic's Claude, on commercial terms). That includes whatever is visible in the photo, so you can cover the name, address and phone first. When the app gives its opinion on a juror it sends the juror's number, not the name. Everything else stays in your browser.
Has the app been independently audited?
No. Voir Dire PDQ has not had a security audit of its own yet. We will tell you exactly what protections come from the AI provider and what does not exist yet, and you can decide if that is enough for your practice.
Is it ethical to use this under Texas rules?
That is your call as the lawyer, and we will not make it for you. On the demo we walk through how the app handles juror information so you can measure it against Tex. Code Crim. Proc. art. 35.29 and Texas Ethics Opinion 705 on generative AI.
Which trials does it cover?
Criminal jury trials, felony and misdemeanor, and family jury trials: custody, CPS termination and divorce. Each mode keeps its own factors, points and questions. Strike counts follow Texas rules and should be checked against your court.
What does it cost?
Pricing is not set. Early access is by conversation: we show you the app, you tell us where it would and would not help in your trials.
Early access
See it run on a panel of thirty-six.
A 30-minute call. We load a fictional panel, set up a case like yours, and go from cards to strike plan while you watch. Built with a practicing Texas defense lawyer, for the hour he actually has.
