NO FCRA USE. Runnels County Criminal History is privately operated and has no government affiliation. Neither the website nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This is a Texas criminal-record reference resource, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference website operates independently of every government office. It neither stores official criminal records nor files documents, retrieves records, or performs official checks for visitors.
Its role is to direct readers to the Runnels County Sheriff, the clerks of courts hearing criminal matters, the Texas DPS Crime Records Division, the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry, and optional outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the website, you agree not to:
- Use any content for a purpose prohibited by federal, Texas, or local law
- Threaten, harass, or stalk another person with information found here
- Use the material for housing, employment, lending, or insurance decisions
- Probe or enter systems or accounts without authorization
- Send bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools through the pages
- Interfere with service availability or another visitor's access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use website content or linked-tool results to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or discriminate against another person. Such conduct may also be criminal. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62 governs Texas Public Sex Offender Registry data and warns against misuse. Registry information supports public safety awareness, not vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produce no credit report, background check, or consumer report. Our advertising partners likewise do not offer linked services for regulated screening through this website. Information from these pages or tools may not be used to:
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a rental or housing application
- Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
- Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated decision
A person who needs a check for a regulated purpose must use the appropriate official Texas channel or a provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
The material is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Runnels County charge, warrant, conviction, expunction, or nondisclosure rule applies to a specific person. Consult a licensed Texas attorney for that advice.
6. No Warranties
All content and services are offered "as is." We make no promise that:
- Partner results will be complete, accurate, or correctly matched
- The website will operate without delay or interruption
- Every item of information will remain complete and current
- The pages contain no error, defect, or security weakness
Charges may be filed or dismissed, and records may later be corrected, restricted, or expunged. Updates can therefore leave gaps. No page is an official statement from a court, sheriff, Texas DPS, or any other agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links lead to public agencies, court portals, legal resources, and outside services that we do not operate. Their content, availability, fees, and data handling remain their responsibility. Review the destination's own terms before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Runnels County Criminal History or the relevant content partner. Written permission is required before copying, adapting, distributing, or building upon that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the greatest extent allowed by law, we accept no liability for damages arising from website use, linked services, or reliance on information obtained through either.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless against claims, actions, and demands caused by your website use or breach of these terms, including related legal expenses.
11. Governing Law
Texas law governs these terms. Any dispute concerning use of the website must be brought in a court located in Texas.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A new version takes effect when it is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, without advance notice, for any reason.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be adjusted only as needed to make it enforceable.
15. Questions
