Relating to qualifications for a sheriff or constable or a candidate for sheriff or constable.

SB 428 sets new qualifications for Texas sheriffs, constables, and their candidates. It requires applicants to have a high school diploma or equivalent, plus either: (1) an active peace officer license, or (2) specific alternative experience (five years as a federal special investigator or ten years of military service). The bill amends Local Government Code sections to apply these standards to both current officeholders and candidates. It directly affects individuals seeking or holding sheriff or constable positions in Texas.
