Judge weighs constable pay in Texas county dispute
The 161st District Court, before Judge Tryon Lewis, heard testimony and exhibits in a bench trial over whether $150 a month is adequate for Precinct 4 Constable Joe Hill and $150 a month for Precinct 3 Constable Martin Stringer. Attorneys argued for higher, with $140,183 and $129,747 sought respectively. If the judge cannot fix the salary, the matter may return to the commissioners, delaying relief for years.
