Description
The main issue in these consolidated cases is whether a trial court has jurisdiction to determine the salary allegedly owed two constables for services rendered in the past. In each case, the trial court held that it lacked jurisdiction and thus rendered a take-nothing judgment against the constables. In both cases, the court of appeals reversed the judgment of the trial court and remanded the causes to the trial court for rendition of a judgment in favor of the constables for past salary plus prejudgment interest and attorneys fees. 825 S.W.2d 180; ___S.W.2d ___. We hold that a trial court lacks jurisdiction to set a constables salary. We thus reverse the judgments of the court of appeals and affirm those of the trial court.
