Ahead of the Democratic Party Primary this Spring, the Williamson County Democratic Party is publishing a series of posts highlighting the races and candidates voters can expect to find on their ballots. With each post, we will focus on a different office and present all candidates with the opportunity to answer the same series of four questions. This post looks at candidates for Williamson County Constable, Precincts 4 and 1.
Constables in Williamson County are tasked with executing orders from county and state courts. This includes criminal arrest warrants, protective orders, evictions, property seizures, and other writs of the court.
