Background and Discussion:
Most of the County's constable service fees have not been updated since 2015. Over that time, the personnel cost of a constable deputy has increased more than 25%, not including non-labor costs. The Office of Management and Budget recommends and is requesting Commissioners Court to adjust fees for January 1, 2025 through December 31, 2025, pursuant to Local Government Code 118.131, by adopting the attached 2025 Constable Service Fee schedule and providing written notice of the fee amounts to the State Comptroller by October 15, 2024.

Expected Impact:


Alternative Options:
By statute, any changes to Constable Service fees for the upcoming calendar year must be adopted by October 1. As such, if the recommended fees are not adopted, fees will remain unchanged for 2025.

Alignment with Goal(s):
X Justice and Safety
_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
_ Transportation
_ Flooding
_ Environment
X Governance and Customer Service
