My daily duties consist of delivering civil process issued by the Justice or Small claims court Precinct 4 . I primarily serve or deliver civil documents.

One document most commonly delivered is a Citation. A citation is the first document that a person would receive when a lawsuit is filed against them.

My office also receives Citations, subpoenas, forcible detainers and various writs from the District, County and other Justice courts of Wharton County as well as other counties. We receive and deliver Citations for Tax suits, Protective orders, Child support suits from the Texas Attorney General as well as Writs of Execution and Writs of Garnishment.

A writ of execution is an order issued by the court ordering the Constable to attach or seize certain non-exempt property  and sell at a public sale, certain property to satisfy a judgment.

A writ of garnishment is issued by the court after a judgment is received against an individual or a incorporate. The Constable delivers the writ to a financial institution which orders the freeze of  the bank account of an individual or corporation pending a hearing to determine the defendants ability to pay a judgment.

During the School year, I work closely with the El Campo Middle school, El Campo High School and school resource office in attempts to combat truancy. I receive calls from the principals and the AT-Risk Coordinator from both schools when they receive information about student who are not in school or need an officer to make a home visit. I work closely with the JP Court to make available outside agencies who serve the Parents and students. I serve as the courts liaison to TEXANA MHMR as well as the Matagorda County Juvenile Probation Motivation Day.

Texana MHMR center offers the Star program and the Stand program. These programs serve the parents as well as the student. Parents and students alike are court ordered to the programs when a Truancy case is heard by the court.

Matagorda County Juvenile Probation department offers a program called motivation day for students who are repeat Truancy offender . They can be either court ordered to attend or a parent can enroll the student with the program. The parents are responsible for the cost of the program.

I also serve the court as Bailiff to both JP and County Court when the court is in session.
