Comal County reclassified a reserve deputy fire marshal position as a part-time deputy fire marshal position on Nov. 5 in response to changes in Texas Commission on Law Enforcement rules. The change was recorded as item 13 of the Commissioners Court meeting.
Pay for the part-time position for the rest of 2026 will come from the county fire code fund. For residents who use the Fire Marshal’s Office, the practical question is whether changing the job’s classification will change the hours or services available.

The county describes the office’s work as fire investigations, prevention education, and fire safety permits and inspections. The verified outcome establishes the staffing classification and funding source, but does not quantify hours for the reclassified position or a change in those services.
The next useful check is the county’s staffing or spending record showing the position’s hours and cost. Residents can inspect the recorded item 13 action for what the court approved and the Fire Marshal’s Office page for the services the county currently lists.
