With the approval of the county court or board of county commissioners, a constable may have one or more deputies, who shall be appointed by the constable in writing. Each such appointment shall be filed with the county clerk of the county, and shall be revocable at any time by the constable, by a writing signed by the constable and filed with the clerk; and, upon the filing, the term of the deputy or deputies therein named shall cease. Every person appointed deputy shall, before entering upon the duties of the office, take and file with the county clerk an oath of office of like effect to that taken and filed by the constable. Each deputy shall have authority and power to perform any duty or act that the appointing constable has the authority and power to perform, and the constable shall be responsible on the official bond of the constable for any act or omission of any deputy. Each deputy shall receive monthly from the county such salary as may be fixed by order of the county court or board of county commissioners. The salary shall be payable in the same manner as the salaries of county officers are paid, and shall be in full compensation for all official duties and services performed and rendered by the deputy; and no other compensation, commissions or fees whatever shall be allowed to, or received or retained by the deputy.
