Information Collected
Search terms entered into third-party search boxes may pass to the search partner that powers that tool. Contact messages may include the name, email address, phone number, and message text a visitor chooses to send. Automatic technical data may include IP address, browser type, device details, referring page, pages viewed, and approximate location derived from standard web logs.
Cookies and similar technologies may be used for site function, analytics, advertising measurement, fraud prevention, and remembering basic preferences. Browser settings can often block or delete cookies, but some features may work less smoothly.
How Information Is Used
Information may be used to operate the site, respond to messages, understand traffic, protect against misuse, improve page content, measure advertising, and route visitors to relevant public-record resources. Search-partner tools use submitted queries under their own terms and privacy practices.
Who May Receive Data
Data may be shared with search partners, hosting providers, analytics services, ad networks, security vendors, email or form providers, and other service providers that help operate the site. Information may also be disclosed when required by subpoena, court order, law-enforcement request, legal process, or to protect rights, safety, and site security.
Outside Links
Pages link to resources such as Kinney County offices, VINELink, TDCJ, BOP, ICE ODLS, re:SearchTX, Texas DPS, and Texas statutes. Those websites have their own privacy practices. This notice does not control how an outside government portal, records vendor, or search partner handles submitted data.
Security and Retention
Reasonable safeguards are used, but no website or transmission method is guaranteed secure. Information may be retained as long as needed for site operations, legal compliance, abuse prevention, analytics, or business records, then deleted or deidentified when no longer needed.
Children and User Rights
This site is not intended for children under 18. Visitors may request access, correction, or deletion of personal information where applicable law provides those rights. Texas public-record and consumer rules may apply in some settings, including Texas Business & Commerce Code provisions and general privacy or consumer-protection principles, but official records held by public agencies must be handled by those agencies.
Policy Updates
This notice may be revised as site operations, search partners, laws, or privacy practices change. The current version applies when posted.
