Commission Rules
The Sheriff's Civil Service Commission Rules were adopted on March 14, 1985, and are revised through September 18, 2012. The Sheriff's Civil Service Commission was established as required by the Texas Local Government Code for the purpose of developing and enforcing rules regarding the selection and employment of employees of the Sheriff's Office.
The Sheriff's Civil Service Commission Rules apply to all employees of the Sheriff's Office except the 10 positions designate as exempt from the Civil Service system by the Sheriff. These rules may be amended, repealed or supplemented by the Commission at any time and new rules may be adopted.
