Harris County constables are set to receive a significant salary increase. Their pay will rise to $305,000 next year, representing a 129% increase since 2024. This change follows a law enforcement pay parity initiative that was championed by some commissioners last year.

The initiative led to a 62% increase in constable salaries from the previous year. Further details about the salary increase and its impact on the county budget are available from Houston Public Media. The previous increase had exacerbated a multi-million dollar budget deficit, but additional information on the current situation can be found through the source.
