Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Pecos County Criminal History. Visiting a page, using a search feature, or reading the material means that you accept every term stated below. If you disagree with any condition, stop using the website.

NO FCRA USE. Pecos County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, Texas, or federal government agency. Neither this website nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant screening, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource helps readers locate criminal-record channels in Pecos County and Texas. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference website operates independently from every government office. It does not keep official criminal records, retrieve records for a visitor, perform an official background check, or submit a filing on anyone's behalf.

The material identifies custodians of Pecos County records, including the sheriff, the criminal courts, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Executive-agency access can be governed by the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, while criminal-history dissemination is addressed in Government Code Chapter 411. Links may also lead to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the website, you agree not to:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, Texas, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person with information found here
  • Rely on the content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any website system or account
  • Send bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools against the pages
  • Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor from gaining access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use information from this website or a linked tool to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate the law. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62 governs the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry and limits misuse of its data. Registry information supports public-safety awareness. It is not a basis for vigilantism, employment blacklisting, housing discrimination, or harm against a listed person.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It produces no consumer report, credit report, or official background check. Its advertising partners likewise do not offer services intended to evaluate job applicants, rental applications, insurance rates, or creditworthiness. You must not use information from this website or a linked tool to:

  • Make a hiring or firing decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
  • Set an insurance premium or assess creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other activity regulated by the FCRA

Anyone who needs a check for one of those purposes must use an authorized Texas Department of Public Safety channel or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

The website provides no legal advice. General descriptions of Pecos County records cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, Texas expunction, or order of nondisclosure applies to an individual matter. Seek advice from an attorney licensed in Texas.

6. No Warranties

All content and functions are provided "as is." There is no guarantee that:

  • Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
  • Pages and functions will remain available without interruption
  • The website contains no error, defect, bug, or security weakness
  • An advertising partner's search result will be accurate or comprehensive

Criminal records change when charges are filed or dismissed and when Texas courts grant expunction or nondisclosure relief. Updates can leave unavoidable gaps. No statement here is an official declaration from a court, sheriff, Texas DPS Crime Records Division, or other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to sheriff pages, court systems, Texas agencies, legal-aid resources, and outside search services. Following a link takes you to a service outside this website's control. Pecos County Criminal History is not responsible for an outside provider's content, data practices, price, or availability. Review that provider's own terms before proceeding.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Pecos County Criminal History or its content partners. No one may copy, distribute, modify, or create derivative material from that content without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the greatest extent permitted by law, Pecos County Criminal History is not liable for damages arising from use of the website, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold Pecos County Criminal History harmless from claims, proceedings, or demands caused by your use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Texas law governs these terms. Any dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Texas.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision takes effect when the updated language is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in force. The affected term will be adjusted only to the minimum extent needed for enforcement.

15. Questions
