That is true, but it doesn't say anywhere that they can force you to come home to serve.
This is all I could find.
16-13-34. Notice to jurors drawn for circuit court panel--Return of acceptance of service.
Unless processed electronically, after the panel or panels of jurors have been drawn, the clerk of courts shall mail to each juror, at least sixty days prior to the time the juror is to serve, a notice that such person has been drawn as a juror.
The notice shall state the time and place the juror shall serve and shall have attached thereto an acceptance of service to be signed by each juror. There shall also be enclosed with the notice a stamped envelope addressed to the clerk of courts for the return of the acceptance of service. Each juror shall sign the acceptance of service of the notice, answer any questionnaires enclosed with the acceptance, and mail it to the clerk of courts or respond electronically using the court's juror website within ten days after receipt.
