Art. 321 Executive officer of district court; serves process, executes writs and mandates directed to him by courts

The sheriff acts as the main enforcement officer for the district court. This means the sheriff is responsible for delivering legal paperwork like citations, summons, subpoenas, and other notices to the people involved in a case.

The sheriff also carries out official court orders. This includes things like writs, mandates, and judgments, whether they come from the district court, a court of appeals, or the state supreme court. In short, when a court needs something officially delivered or enforced, the sheriff is the one who gets it done.
