Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that trial courts lack jurisdiction to determine the salary of constables, whether for past services or future compensation, and therefore affirmed the trial courts' take‑nothing judgments. The Court reversed the Court of Appeals decisions that had found such jurisdiction and ordered the lower courts to follow the trial courts' rulings.
