Information You Choose to Provide
A search query entered in the site's search box is transmitted to the independent provider that processes that search. If you contact us, the message may include your name, email address, and anything else you decide to write. Do not send sensitive identifiers, legal papers, or confidential case material through an ordinary message.
Requests for official records belong with the governmental custodian. For example, records held by a Texas governmental body may be requested under Texas Government Code chapter 552 through that body's approved channel; this site does not receive or decide those requests.
Technical and Cookie Data
Routine server logs, cookies, and similar technologies may record:
- Internet Protocol address;
- browser name and version;
- device category and operating system;
- pages viewed and approximate time spent;
- the referring page or website, when supplied; and
- request dates and times.
Browser controls can limit cookies, although doing so may affect some site or partner features.
How Information Is Used
- Operate, maintain, and improve the website;
- send submitted searches to the selected search partner;
- understand which guides visitors use;
- diagnose errors, abuse, and security problems; and
- support advertising, including interest-based advertising where permitted.
Websites We Do Not Control
Links can open county, state, federal, court, locator, or commercial partner websites. Those operators set their own collection, retention, cookie, pricing, and security practices. Review the notice presented by the destination before providing information there.
When Information May Be Shared
Data may be available to service providers only as needed for their role, including:
- search partners that process submitted queries;
- analytics and site-performance providers;
- advertising networks; and
- law-enforcement or government authorities when disclosure is required by a valid legal order.
Security
Reasonable administrative and technical measures are used to protect information, but no website, transmission, or storage system can promise absolute security. Send only information necessary for the purpose at hand.
Visitors Under 18
This website is intended for adults and is not directed to anyone under 18. We do not knowingly seek personal information from minors. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request review.
Your Privacy Choices
Depending on the law that applies to you and the nature of the data, you may ask to:
- receive a copy of personal information held about you;
- correct inaccurate personal information;
- delete eligible personal information; or
- opt out of certain processing.
Use the Contact Us page for a site privacy request. We may need enough information to verify and process it. Requests concerning an official jail, court, or TDCJ record must go to its government custodian.

This notice may be revised as site practices, providers, or legal requirements change. The version posted here applies from the time it is published, so review it periodically.
