Comal County amends proposed constable salaries to $89,536, schedules more hearings
Summary
The Comal County Commissioners Court voted Aug. 21 to amend proposed 2026 constable salaries to $89,536 and set additional public hearings on Sept. 4, 2025. The court will republish required notices in the New Braunfels Herald before taking further action.
Comal County's Commissioners Court voted on Aug. 21 to amend the proposed fiscal-year 2026 salaries for constables in precincts 1 through 4 to $89,536 and set additional public hearings on the salaries and the proposed budget for Sept. 4, 2025, at 8:30 a.m. in the Commissioner's Court courtroom.
The motion to amend was made by Commissioner Leacock and seconded by Commissioner Hogg; the presiding judge called for the standard raise-of-hand vote and the motion carried. The court directed staff to republish the revised salary notice in the New Braunfels Herald to meet state public-notice requirements.
The presiding judge opened the public hearing on elected-official salaries and explained that discussion of constable salaries could be deferred until after the court acts on any proposed change. After the amendment passed, the judge reiterated that the required notice would be republished and that members of the public who preferred to comment later would have the opportunity at the Sept. 4 hearing.
No formal individual roll-call was recorded in the transcript; the court used the customary "all in favor, please raise your right hand" procedure for adoption.
What happens next: The court will republish the revised salary schedule in the New Braunfels Herald and hold the additional public hearing on Sept. 4, 2025. Any final change to elected-official pay will be adopted only after appropriate notice and hearings.
