Harris County commissioners reject 64% pay raise for county’s 8 elected constables

A proposed $114,290 annual salary bump for Harris County’s eight elected constables died at Harris County Commissioners Court on Aug. 26 as county leaders continue to develop the fiscal year 2025-26 budget.

In a nutshell: Harris County commissioners considered a proposed 64% salary increase for the county’s eight elected constables, which would raise their annual salary to $292,796. Precinct 2 Commissioner Adrian Garcia proposed granting the constables the raise if they agree to consolidate their departments’ dispatch and evidence services. However, Garcia’s motion died for lack of a second.

Going forward: When it comes to reviewing salary pay and potential pay raises for elected county officials, such as Harris County’s eight elected constables, officials can pursue such measures through a salary grievance committee.
