Five rural constables in Bexar County on leave of absence
Five elected rural constables in Bexar County have been placed on definite leaves of absence by the commissioners court. Deputies appointed to take over duties cite rest, taxation, and pressing private business as reasons, while critics call it subterfuge and a response to chamber of commerce protests. The court plans to seek a criminal district attorney opinion on legality, and several precincts report daily complaints as substitutes take over duties.
