Constable Precinct 4

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.

Please contact Deputy Pedro Soto for any questions about Writs and Constable Sales at 281-243-4839 or by email at Pedro.Soto@fortbendcountytx.gov

If you have a complaint about a specific employee or incident, please call the Precinct 4 Constable’s Office at 281-341-4536 and ask to speak to a supervisor about the matter.  Our agency has posted its Complaint-Form-(1).docx  here online and in our front lobby.

If a deputy or employee of the Precinct 4 Constable’s Office provides a service that you feel they should be commended for, please write the Constable or Chief Deputy a letter or note to that effect, and share your feelings on what the deputy 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 deputies/employees of the agency to be more positive about themselves and the service they provide.
