Privacy Policy

This policy explains which information may be collected during a visit, why it is used, and the limited circumstances in which others may receive it. By continuing to use the website, you accept the data practices stated on this page.

Data You Give Us Directly

Search Queries

A name or case number entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. This site does not keep or record those search terms on its own systems.

Messages and Contact Submissions

An email sent to us may be retained so the team can answer it. The message is not disclosed outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.

Data We Gather Automatically

When a page loads, the servers may automatically receive basic technical and usage details:

  • The IP address assigned to your device
  • Which browser you are using and its version
  • Your device type and operating system
  • The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
  • The site that sent you here, if any
  • Timestamps for each page view

Cookies and Analytics

Cookies are small files saved on a device. They and analytics services help combine visit data, such as which pages receive traffic and where visits end. A browser can be set to reject cookies, although disabling them may change how some site features work.

What We Do With This Data

  • Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
  • Sending your search requests to the right partner service
  • Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
  • Tracking down and fixing technical issues
  • Showing ads that may line up with your interests

No Court-Record Data on File

No database of court dockets or personal case-record information is hosted, maintained, compiled, or sold here. The published material explains where Jim Wells County records are kept and how to seek them from the District Clerk, County Clerk, lower-court clerks, or an applicable court search system. This site is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or into files about other people.

Third-Party Search Partners

Outside companies power the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by the selected partner's privacy policy rather than this policy. Each partner controls its own retention and disclosure practices, so review those terms before entering a query.

Links to Other Websites

Links may lead to clerk pages, court portals, statewide search systems, legal-aid resources, or commercial search tools. Once a visitor follows an external link, the destination's privacy policy controls. Review it before providing personal information.

Some advertising providers may track activity across websites to select ads. That processing occurs on the provider's systems.

Who Might See Your Data

Personal data is not sold. Information may nevertheless be received by:

  • Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
  • Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
  • Ad networks that place ads on our pages
  • Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it

How We Protect Your Data

Reasonable, standard safeguards are used for collected data. No internet-connected service can guarantee perfect security, however, and this site cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.

Users Under 18

The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If information from a minor is identified, a request may be made for its deletion.

Your Data Rights

Rights concerning personal data may arise under Texas law. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, addresses records held by covered governmental bodies and treats judicial information separately under Section 552.0035. It does not govern this private site's visitor data or make this website a court-record custodian. Subject to applicable law, you may:

  • Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
  • Have us fix information that is wrong
  • Request that we erase your data
  • Opt out of certain kinds of data processing

Updates to This Policy

This policy may be revised. Any replacement will appear on this page with an updated effective date, so visitors should review it periodically.

Effective date: September 7, 2026
