Comal County Deputy Constable Terminated After Traffic-Stop Complaint

Comal County Deputy Constable Terminated After Traffic-Stop Complaint

By

A Comal County Precinct 4 deputy constable lost his job in 2025 following an internal affairs investigation tied to a disputed traffic-stop interaction with a citizen, according to disciplinary records recently obtained by The Hawk’s Eye. The administrative findings concluded the deputy violated multiple agency policies and demonstrated conduct inconsistent with required professional standards, leading to a recommendation for termination that was ultimately carried out.

Complaint and Basis for Investigation

Internal records show the inquiry began after a formal citizen complaint was filed on Deputy Wesley Belcher regarding an August 14, 2025 encounter at a convenience store near FM 306 and FM 2673.

The complaint alleged the citizen was racially profiled, pursued and stopped without cause, and that Deputy Belcher failed to activate emergency lights or a body-worn camera. It also asserted that Deputy Belcher positioned his patrol vehicle partially in the roadway, creating a potential safety concern as the citizen attempted to move aside.

Recorded Exchange Captured on Video

Video of the interaction, provided to The Hawk’s Eye by the citizen who recorded it, documents the conversation that unfolded during the encounter.

The recording begins with the citizen asking, “what’s against the law?” Deputy Belcher responds, “to cut through the parking lot to skip the red light.”

The citizen then states, “I wasn’t cutting through the parking lot to skip the red light, I was going to park right here to get a taco.” Deputy Belcher replies, “ok, because it sure looks like you’re about to go this way.”

Questioning the basis for the stop, the citizen asks, “but did you see me do that?” Deputy Belcher responds, “hey, what did I just say, that it sure looks like you’re about to do that.”

The citizen continues pressing the issue, stating, “no, what you just say before? You said I broke the law. It’s against the law.” When asked to identify the specific violation, Deputy Belcher ultimately answers “none,” and states he did not stop the citizen and that the individual was free to leave.

The citizen points out the deputy’s patrol vehicle placement and indicates he had been blocked in. After again confirming he was free to go, the citizen drove away, ending the encounter without citation or arrest.

Internal Affairs Findings and Policy Violations

A September 18, 2025 findings memorandum from the Precinct 4 Constable’s Office concluded that Deputy Belcher reported for duty out of proper uniform and without required equipment, including a duty belt, body armor, and body-worn camera. Investigators further determined he failed to follow established traffic-stop procedures and did not uphold expected professional standards despite nearly 11 years of law-enforcement experience.

The sustained violations cited agency policies governing equipment and uniform compliance, general conduct and responsibility to follow laws and directives, and required activation of body-worn camera systems during adversarial encounters. The constable’s conclusion described the conduct as demonstrating poor judgment, lack of readiness for duty, and disregard for professional expectations, recommending administrative termination of employment.

TCOLE Service History

State licensing records show that Deputy Belcher has held a Texas peace officer license since March 7, 2014. His prior service includes employment with the Corpus Christi Police Department from March 2014 to March 2019, the Hays County Sheriff’s Office in 2019, and the Austin Police Department from January 2020 until November 2024.

He was later appointed to the Comal County Precinct 4 Constable’s Office on March 17, 2025. His service there ended September 18, 2025—the same date as the internal affairs conclusion recommending termination.
