Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Gonzales County Criminal History. Opening a page, reading its material, or submitting a search means that you accept them. Stop using the website if you do not agree.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not connected with a government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, tenant, insurance, or another decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify public record resources in Gonzales County, Texas. It is not a consumer reporting agency or private investigation firm.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of government. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves files, performs official checks, or submits documents for a visitor.

Its content identifies the Gonzales County sheriff and jail, local clerks, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Public Sex Offender Registry, and outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use bots, scrapers, or another automated collection tool
  • Interfere with performance or another person's access
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into a system or account
  • Harass, threaten, or stalk a person with information found here
  • Use the content for a hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decision
  • Violate any local, state, or federal law

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked tool may not be used to intimidate, harass, stalk, threaten, or discriminate. Such conduct can be criminal. Texas Public Sex Offender Registry information is governed by Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62 and is provided for safety awareness. It does not authorize confrontation, vigilantism, blacklisting, or discriminatory conduct against a listed person.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners do not offer their tools here for FCRA screening. You may not use data from this website or a linked tool to:

  • Make an employment decision
  • Evaluate a renter or housing application
  • Set insurance terms or assess credit
  • Decide eligibility for a license, benefit, or permit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose

A legally permitted screening need must use the official Texas channel or a compliant consumer reporting agency, as applicable.

5. No Legal Advice

Content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Gonzales County charge, conviction, warrant, expunction, or nondisclosure rule applies to a person. Seek advice from a licensed Texas attorney.

6. No Warranties

All material is offered "as is," without a promise that:

  • Partner results will be accurate or complete
  • Pages will be free from bugs, errors, or security flaws
  • The website will remain available without interruption
  • Published information will always be current, complete, and correct

Criminal records change as charges are filed, resolved, restricted, and expunged. No content here is an official statement by a sheriff, court, or other government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to government pages and outside services that we do not control. Their availability, prices, privacy practices, terms, and content are their responsibility. Review the destination's conditions before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Gonzales County Criminal History or its content partners own the website's text, logos, graphics, and code. Written permission is required to copy, alter, distribute, or create derivative content.

These terms may change, and a revision takes effect when it is posted here.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability
