In the early history of TEXAS, Constables were the Law Enforcement arm, in the colonies lead by Stephen F. Austin with the consent of the Mexican government before we had Texas Rangers. At that time, as they are today, the Constables were elected by popular vote. The Texas Constable is a member of an Elite corps of Cowboy-Lawmen organized in 1823 by Stephen F. Austin, replacing the Spanish style military policing organization, thereby pre-dating even the Texas Rangers.
