Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to and use of this website. Visiting a page, reading its material, or using a search feature means that you accept these terms. If you disagree with any condition, you must stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected with a local, Texas, or federal government body. It and its advertising partners do not provide services for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource helps readers locate criminal-record channels serving Hunt County and Texas. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation service.

1. What This Website Is

Hunt County Criminal History is an independently operated private reference site. It is not part of Hunt County, the State of Texas, or any public office. The website does not possess official records, conduct government background checks, retrieve files on a visitor's behalf, or submit legal papers.

Its role is to direct readers to custodians such as the Hunt County Sheriff's Office, the county's criminal courts, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Links may also lead to outside tools that can assist with personal research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, Texas, or local law
  • Harass, threaten, stalk, or target a person with information found through the website
  • Rely on website content for employment, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Use robots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools on the pages
  • Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor from using the website

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use material found here or through a linked service to intimidate, threaten, harass, stalk, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate criminal or civil law. Extra care applies to the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry, which exists for lawful public-safety awareness. Registry information must not be used for vigilantism, employment blacklisting, housing discrimination, or action against a registrant. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62 governs the registration program and public information.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or background-screening products. Its advertising partners likewise do not offer linked tools for screening applicants, setting insurance terms, evaluating rental applications, or measuring creditworthiness. You agree that neither website data nor results from a linked tool will be used to:

  • Make a hiring, discipline, or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other activity governed by the FCRA

A legally permitted check for a regulated purpose must come from the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is general information, not legal advice. Although the material describes Hunt County record processes, it cannot decide how a pending charge, warrant, conviction, or Texas expunction under Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A applies to a particular person. Consult an attorney licensed in Texas for advice about an individual matter.

6. No Warranties

All website content and functions are offered "as is." No warranty is made that:

  • Any detail will always be accurate, complete, or current
  • Access will remain uninterrupted or continuously available
  • The pages will be free from defects, errors, or security weaknesses
  • A partner search result will be correct, current, or comprehensive

Criminal-record status can change when Hunt County charges are filed or dismissed, a court corrects a disposition, or a Texas expunction or nondisclosure order takes effect. Gaps and delays may occur. Nothing published here is an official statement from a clerk, court, sheriff, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, or another government office.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to sheriff and court sites, Texas agency pages, legal-aid resources, government portals, or outside search services. Following a link transfers the visitor to a service that this website does not control. No responsibility is accepted for an outside provider's content, availability, data practices, terms, or fees. Review that provider's rules before proceeding.

8. Intellectual Property

Unless otherwise identified, the text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Hunt County Criminal History or its content partners. No one may reproduce, alter, distribute, republish, or create a derivative work from that material without prior written authorization.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, the website and its operators are not responsible for loss or damage arising from access, inability to access, reliance on content, or use of information supplied by a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to defend and hold the website and its operators harmless from claims, demands, proceedings, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the website or your violation of these terms.

11. Governing Law

Texas law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from website use must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in the State of Texas. References to public information do not change the distinct rules for agency records under the Texas Public Information Act and filed judicial records under court law and rules.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when the updated text is published on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be suspended, restricted, or ended at any time, without advance notice and for any reason.

14. Severability

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

15. Questions

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