Terms of Use

These terms govern access to Edwards County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its content, or choosing to submit a search means that you accept the conditions below. Do not continue to use the website if you disagree with them.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with Edwards County, the State of Texas, or any other government body. The site and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). This is a public-record reference resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference site with no government connection. It does not store official criminal records, conduct official checks, retrieve a record, or file paperwork for a visitor.

Its content identifies the Edwards County Sheriff, local courts, Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry as official record channels. Some pages also offer access to independently operated search tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use automated scraping tools, bots, or similar processes against the pages
  • Violate a federal, Texas, or local law through the service
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person using information found here
  • Use the content for an employment, housing, lending, or insurance decision
  • Attempt unauthorized access to any connected system
  • Disrupt the service or interfere with another visitor's access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information from the site or a linked tool must not be used to stalk, intimidate, harass, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate against anyone. Texas Public Sex Offender Registry data is published for lawful safety awareness. It does not authorize trespass, threats, vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination, and misuse may violate criminal or civil law.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create background checks, credit reports, or consumer reports. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provide tools designed to evaluate applicants, renters, insurance risk, or credit. You must not use content from this site or a linked tool to:

  • Assess credit or set an insurance premium
  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate a rental or housing application
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A legally authorized check for a regulated purpose must come from the Texas Department of Public Safety or a compliant consumer reporting agency, as the applicable law requires.

5. No Legal Advice

The material is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how an Edwards County charge, conviction, warrant, expunction, or nondisclosure rule applies to one situation. Seek advice from a licensed Texas attorney.

6. No Warranties

All content and services are provided "as is." We do not warrant that:

  • Partner search results will be complete or correct
  • Every page will remain available without interruption
  • Information will always be accurate, complete, and current
  • The service will have no error, defect, or security weakness

Charges, dispositions, expunction orders, and access rules can change. Gaps or delays are possible, and nothing published here is an official statement from the Edwards County Sheriff, a court, Texas DPS, or another agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to sheriff and court pages, Texas agencies, legal resources, and independent search providers. We do not control an outside site's content, fees, availability, or data practices. Its own terms apply after you leave this service.

8. Intellectual Property

Edwards County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. You may not reproduce, distribute, alter, or create derivative work from that material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the site, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, and actions arising from your use of the site or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.

11. Governing Law

Texas law governs these terms. Any dispute related to use of the site must be brought in a court located in Texas.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. Updated terms take effect when they are posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be suspended or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.

14. Severability

If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision will be limited only as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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