Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name or case number entered in a search tool passes directly to the outside company operating that service. The provider processes the query and supplies its results; we do not retain or record those terms on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us is retained as needed to answer it. Access remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by a valid legal obligation.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers receive basic technical information whenever a visitor loads a page, including:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device to help measure how visitors move through the website, including popular pages and exit points. Analytics providers combine this traffic information. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may alter how some features behave.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of dockets or personal case information. Our pages explain where Gillespie County records are held and how to approach the responsible clerk, court, or re:SearchTX. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party records.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and sharing practices govern information submitted through those tools. Review the applicable partner policy before sending a query because we do not control that processing.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to clerks, court portals, re:SearchTX, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination's privacy terms apply. Read them before providing personal information.
Some advertising providers may use activity across websites to select targeted ads. Their systems, rather than ours, perform that tracking.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be available to:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, customary safeguards protect information we collect. No internet system is completely secure, however, so we cannot guarantee that a breach will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone younger than 18. If such information is identified, a deletion request may be made.
Your Data Rights
Rights can vary with a visitor's residence and applicable privacy or consumer-protection law. Texas court-record access is separately governed by Texas Government Code §552.0035, Rule of Judicial Administration 12, and Rules of Civil Procedure 21c and 76a where applicable. For data held by this private site, you may:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised. A replacement will be posted here with an updated effective date, so visitors should review the page periodically.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
