Privacy Policy

This policy describes the information collected during a visit to Tarrant County Criminal History, the reasons it may be used, and the limited circumstances in which another party may receive it. By using the website, you agree to the practices stated in this policy.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or location entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. We do not keep or log those search terms on our systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

We retain an email sent to us as needed to respond. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, servers may automatically receive basic technical details about the visit:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files placed on a device. They help show how people move through the website, including popular pages and common exit points. Analytics services combine that traffic information for review. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some site functions behave.

What We Do With This Data

  • Sending a search request to the selected partner service
  • Operating the website and maintaining page speed
  • Finding and repairing technical problems
  • Understanding which pages are useful and which need improvement
  • Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests

No Criminal-Record Data on File

This site does not keep, assemble, or sell a database of personal criminal records. It publishes general directions to Tarrant County Sheriff's Office records, county and district court files, the Texas Department of Public Safety repository, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. The site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not used to build consumer reports or dossiers about other people.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted through a box is governed by that partner's privacy policy, including its retention and sharing rules. We do not set those practices. Read the provider's policy before sending a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to Tarrant County offices, court portals, Texas agencies, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.

Some advertising providers may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on the provider's systems.

Who Might See Your Data

We do not sell personal data. Limited information may be available to:

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable security measures are used to protect collected data. No internet service can guarantee complete security, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.

Users Under 18

The site is intended for adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.

Your Data Rights

Rights may vary with the law that applies to a visitor. Texas government records are governed by the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, while criminal-history dissemination is addressed by Government Code Chapter 411. Those laws concern official records and do not turn this private site into a government custodian. Subject to applicable privacy law, a visitor may:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. A new version will appear here with its updated effective date, so visitors should review the page from time to time.

Effective date: August 10, 2026
