Brown County commissioners will soon be faced with the task of appointing someone to fill the vacant position of Constable Precinct 3 after the recent resignation of Keith Varner.
According to Justice of the Peace Precinct 3 Bryan Thompson, the appointment will most likely be made at the Monday, May 13th meeting of the Brown County Commissioners’ Court.
Varner tendered his resignation effective April 30th and moved to Bay City where he took a job with the Texas Department of Transportation, according to Thompson.
While the position is vacant, other constables are filling in and taking care of document service for Precinct 3 until the position is filled, said Thompson.
Varner won the May 2012 primary election after narrowly defeating longtime constable C.T. Ham by 26 votes and took office at the first of the year.
