Information You Submit
Search Terms
When a name, location, or other term is typed into a search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that powers the search tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the details you provide may be kept long enough to read, route, and answer it. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement applies.
Automatic Technical Data
Like most websites, this site may collect basic technical data when pages load. That data helps diagnose errors, measure traffic, and understand how visitors use the content.
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages visited and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when available.
- Dates and timestamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used for analytics, ads, and basic site functions. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, but some features may work differently after doing so.
How Data Is Used
- Keep the site available and working.
- Route search requests to the correct partner tool.
- Learn which pages visitors find useful.

Links Away From This Site
Pages may link to sheriff pages, jail resources, court portals, public-information pages, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, VINELink, and third-party search providers. After clicking away, the other site's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure or personalize ads across websites. Those practices occur on partner platforms, not inside county records systems.
Who May Receive Data
Personal data is not sold as a standalone customer list. It may be handled by service providers or disclosed when legally required.
- Search partners that process search queries.
- Analytics services that measure traffic and usage.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement or government entities when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected website can be promised breach-proof. Visitors should avoid sending sensitive personal details that are not needed for a message.
