Terms of Use

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference website, independently run and unaffiliated with any public office. We do not hold official criminal records, submit court papers, retrieve certified files, or conduct official background checks for visitors.

The content identifies Carson County record custodians, including the sheriff, the local courts, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors to outside search tools that may support personal research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

• Use automated bots, scraping tools, or similar processes against the pages
• Attempt to enter systems or data without authorization
• Use information to stalk, threaten, or harass another person
• Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
• Use site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
• Violate any applicable federal, Texas, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information obtained here or through a linked tool to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate the law. Special restrictions apply to data from the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry under Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62. Registry information supports public safety awareness. It must not be used for vigilantism, prohibited discrimination, or retaliation against a registrant.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Carson County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. We do not create consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. Our advertising partners and this website do not offer tools intended to assess job applicants, rental applicants, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. You must not use information from the site or a linked tool to:

• Evaluate credit or determine insurance eligibility or premiums
• Approve or deny a rental or housing application
• Make a hiring, retention, or termination decision
• Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
• Carry out any other purpose governed by the FCRA

When a legally permissible purpose requires a background check, use the official process specified by the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is general information, not legal advice. Although it describes criminal-record access in Carson County, it cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, expunction, or nondisclosure rule affects a particular person. Seek advice from a lawyer licensed in Texas for that analysis.

6. No Warranties

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

• A partner's search results will be complete, current, or correctly matched
• The website will remain available without interruption
• Content will be accurate, current, or complete at all times
• The pages will be free from defects, errors, or security weaknesses

Criminal-record status can change when charges are filed or dismissed, an expunction is granted, or an order of nondisclosure limits public access. Reporting delays and gaps can also occur. Only the Carson County office or Texas agency that maintains a record can issue an official statement or certified copy.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff and court pages, Texas agency resources, legal-aid organizations, or outside search services. We do not manage those services and are not responsible for their content, availability, fees, accuracy, or treatment of submitted data. Review the outside operator's own terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, code, logos, and graphics on this website belong to Carson County Criminal History or its content partners. Unless written permission is obtained first, you may not reproduce, distribute, alter, or create derivative works from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from access to or use of this website, 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 legal proceedings caused by your use of the website or your violation of these terms, including related costs and reasonable legal fees.

11. Governing Law

Texas law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of Carson County Criminal History must be brought in a court located in Texas. Official-record access remains subject to the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, applicable court-access rules, and the criminal-history limits in Government Code Chapter 411.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may suspend, restrict, or end access to the website at any time, for any reason, and without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected term will be modified only to the extent required for enforcement.

15. Questions
