NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with government and is not a consumer reporting agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers tools for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference resource, not a Gaines County or Texas government office. It neither stores official records nor performs official background checks or legal filings. Its purpose is to identify the sheriff, court clerks, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Public Sex Offender Registry, and other sources that maintain the original information.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the resource, you agree not to:
- Violate federal, Texas, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, harass, or harm another person
- Use site information for an FCRA-regulated decision
- Attempt unauthorized entry into a system or account
- Deploy bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools
- Interfere with site operation or another visitor’s access
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked service may not be used to intimidate, harass, stalk, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Registry data is for lawful public awareness, not confrontation or vigilantism. Texas Chapter 62 does not create a general registry-user misuse offense, but ordinary laws against threats, stalking, trespass, violence, and harassment still apply. The narrow civil penalty in Article 62.0061(d) concerns certain commercial social-network misuse.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We do not prepare credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports and are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. You may not use information from this website or a linked search tool to:
- Make an employment decision
- Evaluate a rental or housing application
- Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
- Determine access to a license, permit, or government benefit
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
Use an official Texas Department of Public Safety channel or a compliant provider when the law requires an authorized background check.
5. No Legal Advice
General explanations about Gaines County records are not legal advice. A licensed Texas attorney should address how a charge, warrant, judgment, expunction, or nondisclosure law applies to a particular situation.
6. No Warranties
Material and functions are supplied “as is.” We do not promise that:
- Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
- The website will operate without interruption
- Pages will be free from errors or security problems
- A partner’s search result will be correct or complete
Government data changes as cases are filed, disposed, corrected, restricted, or expunged. Only the originating office can issue an official record.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to government pages, court systems, legal resources, and outside search services. We do not control their availability, content, prices, security, data handling, or terms. Review the destination’s rules before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, the text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Gaines County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, altered, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of this website, including action taken in reliance on site content or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to defend and hold us harmless from claims, demands, proceedings, costs, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms.
11. Governing Law
Texas law governs these terms. A dispute connected to use of the website must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Texas.
12. Changes to These Terms
These terms may be revised. A revision takes effect when the updated text is posted on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may restrict or terminate access at any time, with or without prior notice, as permitted by law.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in force. The affected provision is adjusted only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.
