You are also allowed to use the holy book of your choice, IIRC. You're
not forced to swear on the Bible.

I just had jury duty. I found the requirement to swear on the bible
uncomfortable as a professed Buddhist/Taoist. Any one who was a Jew,
Muslim, Atheist, etcetera had to feel even more uncomfortable because
their beliefs tell them that other beliefs are wrong. One woman
blatantly refused to do so, caused quite a little ruckus in fact.
You are supposed to be able to affirm instead of swearing, if you are
opposed to swearing on the Bible.
Certainly you can do that in Texas.
