- Each county has an elected constable, who serves court papers in civil court cases and makes arrests throughout the county. 
- Constables are responsible for helping to carry out the laws of the state and keep the peace within the county. They attend the local Justice Court. 
- Sometimes, constables are responsible for collecting money that people owe to the court system. 
- County constables are elected in partisan elections to four year terms. One constable is elected per district, and the districts are the same as the districts for Justice Court Judges.
