Resident calls for review of Precinct 4 deputy appointment and background checks
Summary
At the Comal County Commissioners Court public‑comment period, Julie Prescott urged an independent review of a Precinct 4 constable deputy appointment, saying TCLEDS reportedly rejected a candidate and questioning whether required background confirmation forms and procedures were followed.
Julie Prescott told the court she was not making a political attack but raised a public‑accountability concern about whether the Precinct 4 constable followed required pre‑employment background procedures before naming a deputy. She cited the Background Confirmation Form (BCF 24.004) and Texas Occupations Code requirements and asked the constable to produce documentation showing required steps were completed.
Prescott said reports indicated a candidate was rejected by the state system (TCLEDS), which would raise concerns if the office had not caught the issue during its own hiring procedures. She asked for an independent investigation to identify who applied, who was qualified, and whether required certifications were accurate.
