Relating to the establishment of a constable's department civil service system in certain counties; creating a criminal offense.

HB 3319 would establish a civil service system for constable's department employees (including deputies) in Texas counties with populations over 3.3 million. Counties can create this system either through an election requested by at least 20% of employees or by a commissioners court order. If implemented, a civil service commission appointed by the constable, commissioners court, and district attorney would set rules for hiring, promotions, and employee classification. The bill also includes a provision creating a criminal offense, though specific details of the offense are not provided in the text.
