Texas Constables and their Deputies are fully empowered peace officers, with countywide jurisdiction who may legally exercise their authority in any precinct within their county. They may issue citations, make arrest, conduct investigations, file criminal charges, assist other agencies involving crimes-in-progress, respond to missing person calls, and conduct traffic enforcement. Constables are available to serve their community, whenever, and wherever as needed. In addition, Texas Constables are designated as “officers of the courts,” whose responsibilities are to execute court orders (i.e. civil citations, criminal arrest warrants, protective orders, property seizures, evictions, writs, etc.) issued by the District Court, County, Court, Justice Courts, and/or any other State Courts.

Consistent with statute, all tax sales in Hays County are typically held on the first Tuesday of the month. Tax Sales are held at the Hays County Government Center located at 712 South Stagecoach Trail, Ste, 2210, San Marcos, Texas. Times of the sale should be verified but Hays County tax sales are usually held at 10 a.m. Successful bidders at the sale are expected to tender their bid amount in the form of a money order, a cashier’s check or a personal check. Upon receipt of the successful bid amount the bidder will be provided a receipt verifying payment. Please note that if the successful bidder pays with a personal check, it may take a week or two longer for the deed to be filed as the check must clear the bank before we can proceed with finalizing the documents.
