Texas Code of Criminal Procedure requires 12 to sit on the Grand Judy and usually two alternates are selected as well (most grand jury terms last long enough that there is a risk of losing a member or two due to illness, death, or family emergency).

A quorum of 9 is required to 'true bill' or return an indictment against a suspect.

In criminal cases there can be as little as six and as many as twelve. The variables are the county, severity of the crime and which court it is being heard in.
