Harris County constables are set to receive a significant pay increase, with their salaries rising to $305,000 next year. This represents a 129% increase since 2024. The pay hike comes after a previous initiative that raised constable salaries by 62% and contributed to a multi-million dollar budget deficit.
Further details on this development are available from Houston Public Media, including the context and implications of the pay increase for Harris County.
