The Honorable Pam Matranga,
These
peace officers are the first link in the county's chain of law
enforcement. Along
with
Constable, Precinct No. 7 P.O. Box 8327, Bacliff, Texas 77518 Office (281) 316-8806 Fax (281) 339-3048 their deputies, constables have all
the enforcement powers of Texas peace officers. They are sometimes
referred to as the executive officer of the justice of the peace
courts. Their duties are to:
Subpoena witnesses; Act as bailiff; Execute judgments; and Service of process. In large metropolitan counties the constable may also assist the county and district courts. In addition, they may perform patrol functions and make criminal investigations. They are involved in the overall effort to reduce the effects of crime in their communities, including in some cases the operation of truancy programs. Source:Texas Association of Counties
