Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Text entered into a finder tool is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool so it can process the request and return information. This site does not store or log the search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor emails the site operator, the message may be kept so a reply can be sent. It is limited to the operator’s team and is not shared outside that group unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, technical information about the visit may be recorded, such as:
- The network address assigned to the device
- Browser name and version
- Device type and operating system
- Pages opened and time spent on them
- The referring site, if one was present
- Time stamps for page views
Cookies and Analytics
Small cookie files and analytics tools may help measure site traffic, show which pages are used, and identify where a visit ends. Browser settings can block cookies. Some site features may act differently when cookies are disabled.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the site available and improve load time
- Pass finder requests to the provider that operates the tool
- Understand which reference pages visitors use
- Find and repair technical faults
- Display advertising that may be relevant to a visit
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, build, maintain, or sell a warrant database or personal warrant files. It offers general information about where Deaf Smith County records may be held and how to reach the Justice of the Peace, the courts, the Sheriff, and Hereford Municipal Court. The county JP page links a limited public sheet, but that sheet remains on its publisher’s service and is not copied into this site.
For Sheriff-held administrative information, the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, may govern access subject to exceptions. Court records follow judicial rules, including the Texas Judicial Branch’s Rule 12 framework. See the Texas Public Information Act and the court-record access policy. This site does not create an official record or consumer report.
Third-Party Search Partners
Finder boxes may be supplied by outside companies. Information typed into a partner’s box is handled under that provider’s privacy policy and retention practices, not this policy. The operator does not control how a partner stores or shares its data. Read the partner terms before submitting details.
Links to Other Websites
Links across this site lead to courts, county or city offices, state agencies, and outside service providers. Once a visitor leaves this domain, the destination’s privacy rules apply. Check that policy before sharing personal information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to track activity across sites for ad selection. That activity is governed by the partners’ disclosures.
Who Might See Your Data
The operator does not sell personal data. Information may be handled by:
- A search company processing a finder request
- Analytics services measuring traffic or performance
- Advertising networks that place sponsored material
- A government office responding to a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable standard security steps are used to protect information the site operator collects. Internet services cannot be guaranteed free from every risk, so no promise can be made that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor’s information is believed to have been sent directly to the operator, the operator will take steps to remove it after receiving notice.
Your Data Rights
Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 541 is the state’s consumer-data protection chapter. Its rights, duties, and exemptions depend on the statute’s scope and the organization and processing involved. The chapter does not create a right to records that this site does not hold. Where applicable, a visitor may ask what information the operator has, request correction or deletion, or exercise an available opt-out right.
Read the official Chapter 541 text for its definitions and limits. Requests about court or Sheriff records must go to the office that maintains those records, under the applicable Texas access rules.
Updates to This Policy
The operator may revise this policy as the site or its practices change. A revised version will appear here with a new effective date. Review this page from time to time if those changes matter to you.
Effective date: September 23, 2026
