Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference website with no connection to a public office. It cannot retrieve or store official criminal records, perform an official check, or submit paperwork for a visitor.

Its material identifies Hale County custodians, Texas DPS, the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry, and outside search tools that may assist personal research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of use, you must not:

• Interfere with site performance or another visitor’s access
• Probe, enter, or compromise systems without authorization
• Use bots, scrapers, or similar automated collection tools on these pages
• Harass, threaten, or stalk a person using information obtained here
• Use site content in a credit, employment, housing, or insurance decision
• Violate any applicable local, Texas, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked service may not be used to threaten, stalk, harass, intimidate, or discriminate. Texas registry data exists for public safety and community awareness. Misuse against a listed person or someone at a reported address can carry civil or criminal consequences. Vigilante conduct is forbidden.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, background checks, or credit reports. Data from this website or a linked tool must not be used to:

• Set insurance terms or assess a person’s credit
• Evaluate an application for a rental home
• Make a hiring, firing, or other employment choice
• Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public benefit
• Carry out any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

Where a lawful FCRA-regulated check is required, use an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider and any official Texas Department of Public Safety process required for that purpose.

5. No Legal Advice

General information about Hale County records is not legal advice. A Texas lawyer should address how a warrant, charge, conviction, expunction rule, or court process applies to specific facts.

6. No Warranties

All content is offered "as is," without a promise that:

• The information here is accurate, complete, or current at any given time
• The site will stay up and running without interruptions
• Our pages are free of errors, bugs, or security holes
• Results from our partner search tools will be thorough or accurate

Records change when cases are filed, resolved, restricted, or corrected. Gaps and delays can occur, and no content here is an official statement by a Hale County or Texas agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to public offices, courts, agencies, legal resources, and outside search providers. We do not control an external site’s content, uptime, privacy practices, or prices. Review its terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Hale County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, adapted, or distributed without prior written permission.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for loss or damage arising from use of this website or reliance on a linked service.

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, actions, fees, and costs arising from your use of the site or breach of these terms.

Texas law governs these terms. Any dispute connected to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Texas.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may change. A revision becomes effective when the updated text is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as needed to make it enforceable.
