All applicants that take the Civil Service Examination are required to complete an application for
employment (NCF-2).
2.19 Civil Service Register for Clerical Positions: The name of each clerical position applicant
who takes the civil service exam will be placed on the Civil Service Register in order of ranking.
Individual position ranking on the register will be based on evaluation of the civil service exam
score, performance test scores, past experience and the education level of each applicant. County
employees are given preferential treatment by having an additional 5 points added to their overall
score. Scores on the Civil Service register are good for a three year period provided the application
is renewed as specified in Section 2.23.
2.20 Certification: A "CERTIFIED LIST OF CLERICAL APPLICANTS" who are eligible for
appointment will be presented in groups of ten (10), to any department head who so requests. If the
appointing authority does not select an applicant from the list, written justification must be submitted
to the Department of Human Resources and Civil Service, after which a new list will be provided to
the Elected Official/Department Head. If more than one position in the same class is available and
has been included on the personnel requisition, the appointing authority may select applicants from
the same list. Certification lists will be active for 90 days. When new lists are requested, they will
be merged with any old lists that have not expired.
2.21 Reexamination: Applicants may only take the Civil Service Examination two times within a
12 month period. Any exceptions will only be considered upon a written request of the applicant and
are subject to the approval of the Director of Human Resources and Civil Service.
EMPLOYMENT PROCEDURES FOR LAW ENFORCEMENT POSITIONS:
2.22 In addition to all the procedures required for non-clerical positions in paragraphs 2.12 through
2.16 all, qualified law enforcement applicants will also be placed on a Civil Service Register. All
county law enforcement applicants must also meet the requirements of the "Texas Commission on
Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education Act" (TCLEOSE).
RETENTION OF RECORDS:
2.23 Certification Lists: All, certification lists will be retained for a period of twelve (12) months.
and destroyed after that time.
2.24 Applications: All applications for employment may will be destroyed after being on file for
twelve (12) months. Any applicants who wish to receive further consideration for employment are
required to submit a new application or update existing application in the Human Resources
Department.
AGE:
2.25 No person shall be eligible for employment in the classified service, nor shall any applicant be
admitted to an open examination therein, who is less than eighteen (18) years of age, provided,
however, that the Commission may change this age limit at its discretion. In the case of applicants
for law enforcement positions, the age criteria prescribed by the "Texas Commission on Law
Enforcement Officer Standards and Education Act" will be enforced by the county.
