Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Text entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the query and supplies its results. Terry County Court Docket does not keep or record those search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
When you email us, the message and contact details may be retained so a response can be sent. We do not disclose that correspondence outside our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Standard technical information may be received when a page loads, including:
- Your device’s Internet Protocol address
- Browser name and version
- Operating system and device category
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- A referring website, when available
- The date and time of each visit
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files that help measure website use. Analytics providers may combine visit data to show general traffic patterns, such as popular pages or common exit points. Browser controls can block cookies, although disabling them may alter how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
Collected information may be used for these operational purposes:
- Operating the website and improving load performance
- Forwarding a search request to the selected outside service
- Measuring which material visitors use
- Finding and correcting technical faults
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Terry County Court Docket does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a database of Terry County case records or personal docket information. It publishes general directions to the Terry County District Clerk, County Clerk, 121st District Court, lower courts, and re:SearchTX. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a file about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search tools displayed on the website. Information submitted through such a tool is governed by that company’s privacy policy. Each provider controls its own retention, processing, and disclosure practices. Review those terms before entering information.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Terry County offices, Texas courts, re:SearchTX, legal resources, or outside search services. Once you follow a link, the destination’s privacy rules apply. Read them before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own technology to track activity across websites and select ads. That processing takes place through their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be received by:
- Search providers that process a query you submit
- Analytics vendors that measure traffic and performance
- Advertising networks that serve ads
- Government authorities or law enforcement acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information under our control. No internet system can be guaranteed secure, however. We work to reduce risk but cannot promise that unauthorized access or a security incident will never occur.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults, and we do not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Rights concerning personal information may vary with the law that applies to you. Texas judicial-record access is also record-specific: the Texas Public Information Act does not govern adjudicative court files, while many non-adjudicative judicial records fall under Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12. Those public-record rules concern official custodians and do not change this website’s privacy practices. Depending on applicable law, you may:
- Request access to personal data held about you
- Ask that inaccurate data be corrected
- Request deletion of eligible information
- Object to or opt out of certain processing
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised as practices or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here with its new effective date.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
