Sheriffs' & Constables' 2004 Fees

Transmittal Letter

December 15, 2003

Dear Fellow Texans:

The 1995 Texas Legislature passed Senate Bill 770, which amended §118.131(f) of the Local Government Code to require each county commissioners court to provide written notice to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts of any changes in the fees set for services performed by the offices of sheriffs and constables. These fees do not apply to criminal cases.

Pursuant to §118.131, Local Government Code, the Comptroller’s office has compiled the following list of fees effective January 1, 2004. The fees published are those reported by county officials to the Comptroller.

If you have any questions or need additional copies, please call my Local Government Assistance Division at 1-800-531-5441, extension 3-4679. You can also access the manual on my Web site.

We hope this manual will be of use to you and the people you represent. Please let me know if I can ever be of further assistance. Thanks for all that you do for Texas.

Sincerely,

Carole Keeton Strayhorn
Texas Comptroller
