What do County Constables do?
How do they affect me?
The County Constable is the main process server of the Justice of the Peace court. They are responsible for serving writs, warrants, temporary restraining orders, and subpoenas, and can do so for civil processes across the county, and for criminal processes all across the state.
They are also authorized peace officers, so they must be trained and keep an active peace officer license. They can do all sorts of things, from removing illegally placed signs to impounding abused animals, but usually you'll see them in Justice of the Peace court.
The number of constables in a county changes across the state based on the most recent population numbers from the census.
