Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Floyd County Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its material, or submitting a search means that you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, discontinue use of the website.

NO FCRA USE. Floyd County Criminal History is privately operated and has no connection to a local, Texas, or federal government body. This website and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, housing, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource identifies public-record channels in Floyd County, Texas. It is neither a private-investigation business nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This is a private reference website, independent from every government office. It does not keep official criminal records, obtain records on a visitor's behalf, conduct an official background check, or file a request or court paper for anyone.

Its material directs readers to the Floyd County Sheriff's Office, the courts serving Floyd County, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Official access remains subject to laws such as the Texas Public Information Act in Government Code Chapter 552 and criminal-history provisions in Government Code Chapter 411. Links to outside tools may also support personal research.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you must not:

  • Violate a federal, Texas, or local law through use of the website
  • Use content to threaten, follow, intimidate, or harass another person
  • Rely on website content for employment, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt to enter systems or areas without authorization
  • Deploy a bot, scraper, or similar automated collection tool against these pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor's ability to use it

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information obtained here or through a linked service must not be used to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate against a person. Such conduct is prohibited and may also be criminal. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62 governs the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry and its public-safety purpose. Registry information does not authorize vigilantism, retaliation, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

Floyd County Criminal History is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. It does not prepare consumer reports, credit reports, or background checks. The website and its advertising partners do not provide a service intended to evaluate an applicant, renter, borrower, or insured person. You must not use information from these pages or a linked tool to:

  • Make a hiring, discipline, or termination decision
  • Evaluate a renter or an application for housing
  • Assess credit or determine an insurance premium
  • Decide eligibility for a license, permit, or public benefit
  • Carry out any other activity governed by the FCRA

When a lawful purpose requires a formal background check, use the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division or a provider that complies with the FCRA.

5. No Legal Advice

Website content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a charge, conviction, warrant, Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 55A expunction, or Government Code Chapter 411 nondisclosure rule applies to a specific matter. Consult a Texas-licensed attorney for advice about an individual situation.

6. No Warranties

All website material is supplied "as is." No promise or warranty is made that:

  • Any item of information is complete, accurate, or current
  • Access will remain uninterrupted at all times
  • The pages contain no error, defect, or security weakness
  • An outside search provider will return a complete or correct result

Criminal records can change when charges are filed or dismissed, a court enters a new disposition, or relief under Chapter 55A or Chapter 411 restricts access. Updates may lag, and omissions can occur. No website statement is an official representation by a court, sheriff, DPS, or another government body.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may point to sheriff and court websites, Texas agencies, legal-aid groups, or outside search services. Following a link takes you to a system outside our control. Its operator is responsible for content, privacy practices, prices, terms, and availability. Review those terms before proceeding.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Floyd County Criminal History or the applicable content partner. They may not be copied, changed, distributed, or used to create derivative material without prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Floyd County Criminal History disclaims liability for loss or damage arising from website use, including reliance on content found here or through an external service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, or proceedings caused by your use of the website or a breach of these terms, including reasonable legal fees and associated costs.

11. Governing Law

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

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revision becomes effective when the new version is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

Access may be restricted or terminated 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 effect. The affected language will be narrowed only to the extent needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions concerning these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
