Constable Precinct 3

The Texas Constable was established in 1823 under the leadership of Stephen F. Austin. The Constable and Sheriff were the primary law enforcement until 1828 when municipalities were established.

The many facets of civil process are the statutory responsibility of Texas constables. The largest volume of civil process involves serving notice to defendants of pending lawsuits, seizure of persons and property in dispute, and enforcement of judgments rendered by Texas courts.

Writ deputies receive special training in enforcement and collection of judgments. These individuals are the "enforcement arm of the judicial system". A Writ of Execution is issued by a court after a final judgment has been awarded. Executions require the officer to make demand on the judgment debtor and collect the entire judgment owed, or seize non-exempt property to satisfy the judgment amount. Refer to the property sales link on the left for a list of upcoming property to be auctioned.

Complimenting an Employee

As we recognize that conflicts between citizens and agency employees can arise, we also realize that there are times when employees go above and beyond their call for duty. Law Enforcement employees, like everyone else, appreciate it when their good deeds are noticed. Too often they are remembered for the traffic tickets they issue or the arrests they have to make, and not for the thousands of helping hands they extend.

If an Officer or Employee of the Precinct Three Constable’s Office provides a service that you feel they should be commended for, please write the Constable a letter or note to that effect, and share your feelings on what the Officer or Employee has done that deserves commendation. The Constable will see that it gets to the employee and that a copy is placed in the employee's personnel file. This boosts their morale and encourages them and all other Officers and Employees of the Department to be more positive about themselves and the service they provide. We are proud of the good relationship we share with the community in our Mission Statement.

Fort Bend County Constables also serve as the primary enforcement authority of each respective Justice Court. The duties include court bailiff and serving all misdemeanor traffic and hot check warrants initiated in the Justice Court.

The court will generally work out payment arrangements on warrants, but still requires the defendant to "see the judge."

The Precinct Three Constable’s Office proudly benefits from the dedicated assistance offered by our Reserve Deputies. These Deputies are trained to the same standards as full time deputies and are often former full-time law enforcement officers. Typically each Reserve Deputy serves at least 16 hours per month. As fully certified peace officers in the State of Texas, Reserve Deputies have the same authority and responsibility as full time law enforcement officers in the State. While these Deputies regularly volunteer their time at area events, they are prohibited by State law from working extra jobs as a peace officer for compensation.

A typical Reserve Deputy has a strong desire to be actively involved in his or her community and to be a part of the law enforcement profession. The men and women of the Reserve Division are indeed a select group of outstanding citizens. Our Reserve Deputies include attorneys, firemen, former Chiefs of Police, and other prestigious members of our community.

Generally, we require Reserve Deputy Applicants to have previous full-time patrol experience. If you are interested in applying to become a Reserve Deputy, please contact Lieutenant Veronica Martin at 281-242-4014 or Veronica.Martin@fbctx.gov.

Sweetwater, Riverstone, Woodbridge and Aliana residents on vacation or out-of-town for longer than 24 hours are encouraged to utilize our vacation watch service. Deputies will check your property routinely throughout their shifts and pay close attention to your property during your absence. Upon your return, you will be mailed a list with dates and times your residence was checked, and a copy of your information. Once a homeowner registers for our house watch program they will be issued a number. The next time you leave town, simply call our office and reinstate your watch with the current information.

Call 281-242-4014 Monday - Friday, between the hours of 8:00 AM - 4:00 PM, to request a house watch. Your request must be submitted at least 24 hours in advance. Please note that the office is closed on weekends and holidays. Therefore, any requests for weekend house watches must be submitted the preceding Thursday. Late requests will not be received until the following Monday.

The Warrants Unit is comprised of highly motivated and experienced deputies who strive to clear warrants by bringing the offender into compliance with the court.

This is often affected through arresting the defendant, however, a defendant may contact our warrant division to receive a time frame to come into court, or to make payments to the court. The warrant will not be recalled until all fines are paid, and this is strictly the discretion of each deputy, but a defendant who is willingly cooperating with our office to pay fines will be given a reasonable time period to dispose of their case.

If you believe you have outstanding warrants and wish to cooperate with paying your fines please call our warrant division and speak to a deputy.
