From the sounds of these posts, looks like alot of people have received citations from Bexar County Constables.

If the county has deputies, why do we need constables too? Seems like a duplication of personnel. Plus, isn't a constable someone who didn't qualify for SAPD, Sherrif Dept, or Park Police? Plus, we waste taxpayer money voting for that position. Just get rid of the egotistical public servant.

Precinct #3 is out of control. This is not their first traffic accident and it wont be their last. What kind of training does precinct #3 have to be involed in hifg speed chases?

Constables need to quit being rogue cops. Execution of warrants, evictions-that's all they are supposed to do! Let the police do their job.

All of this because of a stolen bike. It sure had traffic backed up. Cop car's were flying to the scene that could had caused more wrecks. If it was one of his duputies involved they be fired. Thank God no innocent people died.
