Terms of Use

These conditions govern every visit, search, and use of content on this website. Continuing to use the site means that you accept all terms stated below. If you disagree with them, you must stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a local, Texas, or federal government body. It and its advertising partners do not offer products for credit decisions, employment screening, insurance eligibility, tenant screening, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The resource points visitors toward Wheeler County and Texas criminal-record channels. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation firm.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently of all government offices. It does not store official records, retrieve a person's file, perform an official background check, or submit documents for a visitor.

Its function is to identify Wheeler County custodians, including the sheriff and jail, local criminal courts, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also display outside search tools that may assist personal research. Texas government access to public information is governed in part by the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, while DPS criminal-history dissemination is addressed in Government Code Chapter 411.

2. Rules for Using This Site

By using the site, you agree not to:

  • Use site content for a lending, insurance, employment, or tenant-screening decision
  • Threaten, stalk, intimidate, or harass a person with information found here
  • Violate any applicable federal, state, or local law
  • Attempt to enter a system or account without authorization
  • Send bots, scrapers, or other automated traffic to the pages
  • Interfere with the site's speed, security, or availability to other users

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

No one may use information from this website or a linked tool to stalk, threaten, harass, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate against another person. Texas registry data is published for public safety and community awareness. Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62 does not authorize vigilantism, and applicable Texas harassment and other criminal or civil laws remain in force. Misuse against a listed person or household may result in legal consequences.

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 other consumer reports. Our advertising partners likewise do not provide a service through this site for FCRA screening. Site or linked-tool information must not be used to:

  • Make an employment decision about another person
  • Evaluate a tenant or housing application
  • Set insurance eligibility, terms, or premiums
  • Assess credit or lending eligibility
  • Decide access to a license, permit, benefit, or other FCRA-covered opportunity

A person who needs a legally compliant report for a regulated purpose must use the proper official Texas DPS channel or a qualified FCRA-compliant provider.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Wheeler County charge, warrant, conviction, expunction, or nondisclosure rule affects a specific person. Seek advice from a licensed Texas attorney for that analysis.

6. No Warranties

All site content is provided "as is." We make no promise that:

  • Partner search results will be complete or correctly matched
  • Site information will always be accurate, current, and complete
  • The service will remain available without an interruption
  • Every page will be free from bugs, errors, or security weaknesses

Charges may be filed or dismissed, and records may later be corrected, restricted, or expunged. Updates can therefore lag. Content here is not an official statement by the Wheeler County sheriff, a court, Texas DPS, or another government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links can lead to the Wheeler County government, Texas agencies, court portals, legal resources, and external search services. We do not control a destination's content, prices, availability, or data practices and accept no responsibility for them. Review that service's terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Wheeler County Criminal History or its content partners own the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, distributing, modifying, or making derivative use of that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from site use or reliance on information supplied here or by a linked service.

10. Indemnification

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

11. Governing Law

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

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these conditions at any time. A new version becomes effective when posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all other provisions remain effective. The affected term will be adjusted only to the extent needed for enforcement.

15. Questions

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