NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions governed by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its purpose is to route readers to Zavala County and Texas criminal-record resources. It is neither a consumer reporting agency nor a private investigation firm.
1. What This Website Is
This is an independent private reference site, not a Texas or Zavala County office. It does not keep official criminal records, perform government background checks, retrieve files, or submit documents.
Its content identifies record custodians such as Zavala County clerks, the sheriff and jail, the Texas Department of Public Safety, and the 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 the website in violation of federal, Texas, or local law
- Threaten, stalk, intimidate, or harass a person with information found here
- Use the content for lending, insurance, housing, hiring, or another FCRA-regulated decision
- Attempt to bypass security or enter a restricted system
- Send bots, scrapers, or other automated collection tools through the pages
- Interfere with performance or prevent another visitor from using the service
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use content from these pages or a linked tool to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate against another person. Texas law and the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry warn that misuse of registry information can result in civil or criminal consequences. Registry data supports public safety awareness, not confrontation, retaliation, vigilantism, or an FCRA-regulated decision.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This operation is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and does not create consumer reports, credit reports, or official background checks. Its content and linked advertising tools cannot be used to:
- Set insurance terms or assess credit
- Choose, discipline, or dismiss a worker
- Evaluate an applicant for a lease or other housing
- Decide eligibility for a benefit, permit, or license when FCRA rules apply
- Make any other decision regulated by the FCRA
A lawful regulated check must come from the Texas Department of Public Safety or an appropriate FCRA-compliant provider, as the purpose requires.
5. No Legal Advice
The material is general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Texas attorney can assess how a warrant, charge, conviction, expunction, or nondisclosure rule applies to specific facts.
6. No Warranties
Everything on this site is provided "as is." We do not guarantee that:
- Partner search results will be complete, current, or correctly matched
- Every page will remain available without interruption
- All information will always be accurate or up to date
- The service will be free from bugs, errors, or security problems
Criminal records can change when charges are filed or dismissed and when a court enters an expunction or nondisclosure order. Gaps and delays are possible. Nothing published here is an official statement from a court, the sheriff, DPS, or another government body.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
A link may lead to a sheriff, clerk, state agency, legal resource, or outside search provider. The destination controls its own availability, content, fees, data handling, and terms. Those services are used at the visitor's discretion.
8. Intellectual Property
Text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Zavala County Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, modifying, or adapting that material requires prior written permission.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the greatest extent permitted by law, the operator is not responsible for damages arising from use of the website, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
A visitor agrees to defend and hold the operator harmless from claims or demands caused by that visitor's use of the service or violation of these terms, including related legal costs.
11. Governing Law
Texas law governs these terms, and a dispute tied to use of the website must be brought in a court located in Texas. The Texas Public Information Act governs requests to Texas governmental bodies, not this private operation, while Government Code Chapter 411 restricts criminal-history dissemination.
12. Changes to These Terms
The operator may revise these terms. A revision takes effect when the updated text appears on this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
Access may be restricted or ended at any time, with or without advance notice.
14. Severability
If one provision is held invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms continue in effect. The affected provision will be narrowed only as needed to make it enforceable.
15. Questions
