Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of the website. Reading a page, submitting a query, or otherwise continuing on the site indicates agreement with all terms below. Anyone who does not agree must discontinue use.

NO FCRA USE. This is a private website with no connection to a local, Texas, or federal government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service designed for credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions, or for any other Fair Credit Reporting Act purpose. The material points readers toward criminal-record resources in Throckmorton County and Texas. We are neither a private investigator nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This privately operated reference site is independent of every government office. It does not maintain official criminal files, retrieve records, perform official checks, or submit documents for a user.

Its function is to identify the custodians of Throckmorton County criminal records, including the sheriff, the county and district courts, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. The official county site provides the local government route. Some pages also connect visitors with independently operated research tools. The Texas Public Information Act governs access to records held by governmental bodies, while Texas Government Code Chapter 411 controls dissemination of state criminal-history record information. Neither statute makes this private site an official record custodian.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is permitted only if you agree not to:

  • Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Access systems or data without authorization
  • Harass, threaten, or stalk a person with information found here
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Interfere with performance or another visitor's access
  • Violate a federal, Texas, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use information from this website or a linked tool to threaten, stalk, intimidate, harass, or unlawfully discriminate against another person. Such conduct may also be criminal. Texas Public Sex Offender Registry information calls for special care under Texas law. It is published for safety awareness, never for vigilantism, blacklisting, housing bias, or contact with a listed person.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background reports, or any other consumer report. The same is true of the use for which site advertising tools are presented. Information from this site or a linked tool must not be used to:

  • Evaluate a housing or rental applicant
  • Make a hiring, firing, or other employment decision
  • Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

A person needing a legally compliant report for one of those purposes must use Texas DPS where authorized or a screening company that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The website provides no legal advice. General descriptions of Throckmorton County records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or expunction rule affects a specific matter. Seek advice from a licensed Texas lawyer.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are offered "as is," without a guarantee that:

  • Outside search results will be correct or comprehensive
  • Every detail is complete, accurate, and current
  • The site will always operate without interruption
  • The pages contain no defect, bug, or security risk

Criminal files can change as charges are filed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged. Updates may not appear here at once, so no site content should be treated as an official statement from the sheriff, a court, Texas DPS, or another agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to sheriff and court sites, Texas agencies, legal resources, and independent search providers. We do not control those destinations and accept no responsibility for their availability, content, prices, or data practices. Review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, code, graphics, and logos belong to Throckmorton County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, altered, distributed, or used to create derivative work without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we have no liability for damages arising from use of the site, including reliance on information supplied here or by a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the website or breach of these terms, including related costs and legal fees.

11. Governing Law

Texas law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Texas.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions at any time. A revision becomes effective when the new text is posted to this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated at any time, without advance notice and for any reason.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only to the extent required for enforcement.

15. Questions

Questions concerning these conditions may be directed through the Contact page.
