Commissioners approve step increases for law-enforcement pay scales
Summary
The court approved pay-scale adjustments effective Aug. 2, 2025: up to one step for nonexempt law-enforcement positions, up to two steps for corrections, and up to four steps for telecommunications positions; commissioners framed the move as recruitment and retention support.
The Comal County Commissioners Court approved adjustments to nonexempt law-enforcement pay scales effective Aug. 2, 2025. The package included: up to 1 step for nonexempt law-enforcement positions (sheriff's office, courthouse security, constables, fire marshal, district court bailiffs, criminal district attorney investigators); up to 2 steps for nonexempt corrections positions in the jail; and up to 4 steps for nonexempt telecommunications positions in the sheriff's office. Funding will come from line-item transfers to payroll-related lines and contingency.
Commissioner Hogg framed the update as necessary to retain essential services and aid recruitment: "These positions are vital positions in our county. They are positions and services that counties are required to provide." Commissioners asked the sheriff to continue active recruiting and support implementation in the FY2026 budget process.
