The Sheriff is a constitutionally created office with duties to be prescribed by the legislature (Texas Constitution, Article V, Section 23). The Sheriff is the chief law enforcement officer for the county and is responsible for operating the county jail, investigating crimes, making arrests, enforcing traffic regulations, serving writs, seizing property after judgment, and maintaining communications with other law enforcement organizations. The Sheriff has county-wide jurisdiction, but in practice, most Sheriffs' Offices concentrate their activities outside city limits where municipal officers cannot operate and assist municipal agencies when requested. Like all county department heads, the Sheriff appoints his own personnel and operates within the resources of his budget. The Sheriff is elected every four years and is responsible for security in both the county and district courts.

On June 3, 2026, the Texas Animal Health Commission (TAHC) received confirmation of a detection of New World screwworm (NWS) in Zavala County, Texas. The best thing that livestock producers and animal owners can do to prevent infestation is to put eyes on their animals as often as possible, remain vigilant by implementing enhanced management practices to avoid creating wounds, and promptly report suspicious wounds.
