How to File a Complaint

If you wish to file a complaint against a constable, please go to our "Rules and Forms" section and use the "Complaint & Statement of Facts" form. You can mail, e-mail, or fax the form to the CESTB office, or you may fill out our Online Complaint Form.

If you have multiple complaints concerning one or more constables, please fill out a separate form for each.

Once your complaint is received you will be sent a confirmation letter. The constable will be given 20 days to respond to your complaint. After the response is received the Board may request additional information from you, the constable, or another source. When all the necessary evidence has been compiled the complaint will be forwarded to an investigating committee consisting of Board members who are not from the same county as the constable in question. The committee will review the evidence and make a recommendation to the Board at its next regular meeting. You will receive a letter notifying you of the Board's decision and what actions were taken.
