Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Brooks County Criminal History. Accessing a page, reading its content, or submitting a search means the visitor accepts every term below. Anyone who does not agree must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with Brooks County, the State of Texas, or any government body. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Brooks County Criminal History is a records-reference resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

Brooks County Criminal History is a private reference site with no government ties. It does not store official files, obtain records for a visitor, perform an official background check, or submit documents.

Its content identifies public record routes maintained by the Brooks County Sheriff, local courts, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect visitors to outside search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

Use is permitted only under these limits. A visitor must not:

  • Break any federal, state, or local law while using this site
  • Use information you find here to stalk, harass, or threaten anyone
  • Base hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions on content from this site
  • Try to break into our systems or gain access you are not supposed to have
  • Run bots, scrapers, or automated tools against our pages
  • Do anything that slows the site down or blocks other people from using it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No information found here or through a linked tool may be used to stalk, threaten, intimidate, harass, or discriminate against a person. Misuse may also violate criminal law. Texas Public Sex Offender Registry information warrants special care under Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62. It exists for public safety awareness and cannot lawfully support vigilantism or prohibited discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Brooks County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and creates no credit report, background check, or consumer report. Its advertising partners do not turn this site into a screening service. Information from these pages or linked tools may not be used to:

  • Decide whether to hire or fire someone
  • Screen potential renters or housing applicants
  • Judge creditworthiness or set insurance premiums
  • Determine who qualifies for licenses, permits, or government programs
  • Do anything else that falls under FCRA rules

A legally permitted check for an FCRA-regulated purpose must come from Texas Department of Public Safety or an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider, with all required consent and procedures.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, expunction, or nondisclosure rule applies to a particular situation. Consult a licensed Texas attorney for legal guidance.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are supplied "as is." No guarantee is made 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

Criminal files can change after a charge, dismissal, nondisclosure, or expunction. Gaps and delays are unavoidable. Nothing published here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, clerk, or Texas agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to courts, sheriffs, state agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination controls its own content, privacy practices, fees, and availability. Review that service's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

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

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, the site is not liable for damages arising from its use, including reliance on content found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

A visitor agrees to hold the site harmless from claims, demands, or legal actions caused by that visitor's use or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Texas law governs these terms. Any dispute tied to website use must be filed in a court located in Texas, subject to applicable jurisdiction and venue law.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue. The affected language is adjusted only to the minimum extent needed for enforcement.

15. Questions
