Wood County Constables

Texas County Constables are elected law enforcement officials who serve as peace officers within their respective precincts in a county. Their primary responsibilities include enforcing civil and criminal laws, serving legal documents such as subpoenas, eviction notices, and warrants, and providing courtroom security for the justice of the peace courts. Constables have the same authority as other Texas peace officers, such as sheriffs and police officers, allowing them to make arrests and conduct investigations. They play a vital role in maintaining order and ensuring the legal processes of the justice system are upheld, particularly in civil matters. Constables are often supported by deputy constables and staff, working collaboratively with other law enforcement agencies to serve their communities.
