Functions of the County Sheriff

The Sheriff is a constitutionally created office with duties to be prescribed by the legislature (Texas Constitution, Article V, Section 23). The Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer for the county and is responsible for operating the county jail, investigating crimes, making arrests, enforcing traffic regulations, serving writs, seizing property after judgment, and maintaining communications with other law enforcement organizations. The Sheriff has county-wide jurisdiction, but in practice, most Sheriffs' Offices concentrate their activities outside city limits where municipal officers cannot operate and assist municipal agencies when requested. Like all county department heads, the Sheriff appoints his own personnel and operates within the resources of his budget. The Sheriff is elected every four years and is responsible for security in both the county and district courts. The Sheriff also sets bail bond policy for the county.
