According to the Texas Court Website:

"A District Court judge may permanently or temporarily exempt from jury service a person with a physical or mental impairment or with an inability to comprehend or communicate in the English language that makes it impossible or very difficult to serve on a jury."

You need to contact the judge or the court to be exempted on this basis. You would also need to provide medical documentation that serving would be that difficult for you. Whether or not you'd be eligible to get a permanent exemption will depend on what your doctor says, but I'm sure with everything you're going through right now that with documentation you'd have no trouble being exempted from your present obligation.

There should be a contact number for the Clerk of the Court on the summons that you received. If you call that number and explain your that you're very ill and are seeking a medical exemption, the clerk will tell you where you can get the form, what documentation you'll have to attach to it and where you take it or mail it to.
