Texas HB2951 amends salary assistance grant programs for rural sheriff's and constable's offices.
Texas HB2951 amends the Local Government Code to revise the rural sheriff's office and constable's office salary assistance grant programs. It sets minimum annual salaries for county sheriffs, deputies, jailers, constables, and emergency dispatchers. Counties must contribute at least 75% of the required salary for constables and dispatchers to qualify for grants. The grants can only be used for specified salary payments, hiring, or equipment purchases. The comptroller will establish application rules, deadlines, and monitoring procedures.
