Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Donley County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or submitting a search means you accept them. Do not continue to use the website if you disagree with any condition.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with a government body. Neither the site 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 criminal-record resources in Donley County, Texas. 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 government connection. It does not store official records, retrieve them for visitors, conduct official checks, or file documents.

The content identifies Donley County record custodians, including the Sheriff, local courts, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Use automated bots or scraping tools against the pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's access
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Use information to harass, threaten, or stalk a person
  • Rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Violate federal, Texas, or local law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, intimidate, harass, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Misuse may also violate criminal law. Texas Public Sex Offender Registry information exists for lawful public-safety awareness. It does not authorize vigilante conduct or adverse treatment of a registrant.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Donley County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It creates no credit report, background check, or consumer report. Its advertising partners likewise do not provide an FCRA screening product through this website. You must not use site or linked-tool data to:

  • Make any other decision governed by the FCRA
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or government program
  • Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Make an employment decision

A regulated check must come through a lawful official channel or an FCRA-compliant provider appropriate to that purpose.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot decide how a Donley County charge, conviction, warrant, expunction, or nondisclosure rule applies to a specific set of facts. Consult a licensed Texas attorney for legal guidance.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are offered "as is." No promise is made that:

  • Partner search results will be complete or correct
  • Pages contain no bug, mistake, or security flaw
  • The website will operate without interruption
  • Every item is current, complete, or accurate

Criminal records change as charges are filed or dismissed and as courts grant expunction or nondisclosure. Gaps and delays can occur. Nothing published here is an official statement from a court, Sheriff, Texas DPS, or another public agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may open Sheriff, court, Texas agency, legal assistance, or external search websites. Those destinations are independently controlled. We are not responsible for their content, availability, data practices, or prices. Review the destination's terms before use.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Donley County Criminal History or its content partners. No one may reproduce, distribute, adapt, or build upon that material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for harm arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold us harmless from a claim or demand caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal expenses.

11. Governing Law

Texas law governs these terms, including applicable provisions of the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act in Business and Commerce Code Chapter 17. The Texas Public Information Act governs requests to public offices, and Government Code section 411.135 defines public DPS conviction and deferred-adjudication history. Neither law turns this private site into a government custodian. A dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Texas.

12. Changes to These Terms

These conditions may be revised. Updated terms take effect when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be limited or ended 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 will be narrowed only as much as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be directed through the Contact page.
