Harris County constables are set to receive a significant salary increase, with their annual pay rising to $305,000 next year. This represents a 129% increase since 2024. The increase comes after a law enforcement pay parity initiative was implemented, which previously raised constable salaries by 62% and contributed to a budget deficit.
Further details on the salary increase and its implications are available from Houston Public Media, the source of this information.
