Information You Choose to Provide
Search Terms
When you enter a name, county, or location into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages
If you email or send a message connected with this site, the information you provide may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless the law requires it.

Links to Other Websites
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, TDCJ resources, BOP and ICE locators, court portals, and other public-record sources. In Texas, official public-record access is often governed by the Texas Public Information Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 552, but each outside site controls its own privacy practices once you leave this site.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and serve targeted ads. Those systems are controlled by the partner, not by this site.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed or processed by these categories of recipients:
- Search partners that handle submitted queries.
- Analytics providers used to measure traffic and performance.
- Advertising networks.
- Law-enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used, but no internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof or error-free.
