Comal Countyâs four justices of the peace and constables made their cases for additional manpower and bigger operating budgets before county commissioners, whose budget workshop entertained more than $116.9 million in 2022 budget requests on Thursday. The eight offices, two serving each of the countyâs four precincts, said county growth now demands more and more processing of civil and criminal matters and an almost overwhelming glut of paperwork. The countyâs four justices of the peace, each earning $63,152 annually, try to rotate weekends on legal pronouncements of deaths â from scenes of car accidents, drownings on lakes and rivers, to non-natural deaths in hospitals. Precinct 3 JP Mike Rust said caseloads and death inquests have gone up by â94% or 95%â since 2015.
