OPINION
OSBORN, Chief Justice.
This suit was filed by a constable to obtain compensation and expenses from the county for services rendered in the performance of his duties for a period of 54 months. The trial court determined that it was without jurisdiction to set a reasonable salary and denied the relief sought, although the court did make findings as to what would be a reasonable salary for the services rendered. We reverse and remand.
