Precinct 3 constable describes heavy eviction workload, state audit and training burden

Jim Weatherall, constable for Precinct 3, told the committee he serves approximately 300 civil processes each year, from citations and evictions to writs, and that many matters require multiple visits before service. He described administrative tasks — billing the attorney general's office for child-support service, preparing reports and complying with a recent AG audit — and said the workload and training obligations justify higher pay.
