My county pays constables $9.00 a month plus lets them keep all the fees they collect for serving papers. Today I ran across Art 16, �61(b), Texas Constitution, which specifically excludes constables from the category of precinct officers who may be compensated on a fee basis.

Is anyone aware of an exception that would legalize local custom?

Do I have a duty to sue the constables for return of all the fees they have pocketed?
