Terms of Use

These conditions govern access to Fort Bend County Criminal History. Reading a page, using a search feature, or otherwise continuing on the website signals acceptance. Anyone who does not agree should stop using the site.

NO FCRA USE. This is a privately operated website with no government affiliation. The site and its advertising partners do not offer a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or any other decision regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to identify Fort Bend County, Texas criminal-record resources. It is neither a private investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site is independent from every public office. It does not store official records, conduct official checks, retrieve files, or submit documents for a visitor.

Instead, it points to the Fort Bend County Sheriff, criminal court clerks, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

You agree that you will not:

  • Use automated scrapers, bots, or similar collection tools
  • Break federal, Texas, or local law
  • Attempt unauthorized entry into any system or account
  • Harass, stalk, intimidate, or threaten another person
  • Use site content for hiring, housing, credit, or insurance decisions
  • Interfere with site speed, access, or another visitor's use

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

Information reached here may not be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Misuse can violate the law. Texas Public Sex Offender Registry data is provided for safety awareness and factual review, not confrontation, vigilantism, blacklisting, or discrimination.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce consumer reports, credit reports, or regulated background checks. Neither the site nor its advertising partners supplies data for applicant screening, rental decisions, insurance rates, or credit judgments. You must not use information found here to:

  • Set insurance rates or assess creditworthiness
  • Evaluate a rental or housing applicant
  • Make an employment decision
  • Determine eligibility for a license, permit, or public program
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated action

A lawful regulated check must come through the Texas Department of Public Safety or an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General descriptions of Fort Bend County records cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, nondisclosure order, or expunction law applies to a person. Consult a Texas attorney for legal advice.

6. No Warranties

Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:

  • Outside search results will be complete or correct
  • The website will always remain available without interruption
  • Every page will be free of mistakes or security weaknesses
  • Published information will always be complete, current, and accurate

Criminal records change as charges are filed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged. Gaps and stale details may remain despite updates. Nothing published here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, clerk, or government agency.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links lead to government offices, court portals, Texas agencies, legal resources, and outside services that we do not control. We are not responsible for their availability, content, data practices, or prices. Their own terms apply after a visitor follows a link.

8. Intellectual Property

Fort Bend 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 creating derivative works from that material.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent allowed by law, we are not responsible for damages arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless against a claim, demand, or legal action 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 arising from website use must be filed in a court located in Texas.

12. Changes to These Terms

These terms may be revised at any time. A revised version takes effect when it is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

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

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue. The affected provision will be adjusted only as far as needed to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

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