SB2109 amends the Local Government Code to establish new requirements for the appointment of deputy constables in Texas.

SB2109 amends the Local Government Code to require that the appointment of a deputy constable must be made in writing. An elected constable must apply to the county's commissioners court, stating the necessity of appointing a deputy to handle the business originating in the constable's precinct. The court must approve the appointment if it determines the constable needs a deputy. Before performing duties, a deputy must take and subscribe the official oath, which must be recorded in the county clerk's office. A list of appointments must be posted in a conspicuous place.
