Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of the Somervell County Criminal History website. Accessing a page, reading its material, or using a search feature signals acceptance of every term below. The terms describe the site's private status, lawful-use limits, FCRA restrictions, outside services, warranties, and limits of responsibility. They also explain that official Somervell County criminal records must come from the government office that maintains them. Review each condition before relying on any resource or following an external link. Do not continue to use the website if you disagree with these terms.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to route readers to Somervell County and Texas criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no connection to a government office. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve records, perform official checks, or submit filings.

Its material identifies the Somervell County sheriff and court clerks, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect readers with outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or another automated process against the pages
  • Harass, stalk, or threaten a person with information found here
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Violate a local, state, or federal law through site use

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate. Misuse can be criminal. The rule is especially important for Texas Public Sex Offender Registry data, which exists for public safety and community notice, not retaliation or vigilantism.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background-screening products. The same is true of services offered through our advertising relationship. You agree not to use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Set credit terms or insurance premiums
  • Evaluate a housing or rental applicant
  • Make a hiring, firing, or employment decision
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
  • Carry out any other purpose regulated by the FCRA

A legally regulated use requires an authorized official process through the Texas Department of Public Safety or a qualified FCRA-compliant provider.

5. No Legal Advice

Website material is not legal advice. General explanations about Somervell County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, expunction, or nondisclosure law applies to a specific person. Consult a licensed Texas attorney for that analysis.

6. No Warranties

All services and content are provided "as is." We make no promise that:

  • An outside search provider's result will be accurate or complete
  • Every page will remain free of bugs, errors, or security weaknesses
  • Content will always be complete, correct, and current
  • Access will remain continuous and uninterrupted

Charges, dispositions, restrictions, and Texas expunction orders can change what is available. Gaps and delays are possible, and no website statement should be treated as an official response from a court, sheriff, or agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to court portals, sheriff and agency pages, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control those destinations or accept responsibility for their content, availability, data practices, or fees. Review their terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Somervell County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required to copy, alter, distribute, or create derivative work from that content.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we disclaim liability for damage arising from site use or reliance on information obtained here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

Texas law governs these terms. Relevant state frameworks include Government Code Chapter 411 for criminal-history dissemination and the Texas Public Information Act in Government Code Chapter 552 for government records. A dispute tied to website use must be brought in a court located in Texas.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the new text is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or end access at any time, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one term is held invalid or unenforceable, all other terms remain effective. The affected provision will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these terms may be sent through the route identified on the Contact page.
