NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website is not affiliated with a government body and is not a consumer reporting agency. Neither it nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its purpose is to organize public record-access resources for Dallas County and Texas.
1. What This Website Is
Dallas County Criminal History is an independent reference site. It keeps no official criminal files, conducts no official background checks, and cannot submit a record request or court filing for a visitor.
Its content points to custodians such as Dallas County clerks, the Sheriff's Office, Texas Department of Public Safety, Texas Department of Criminal Justice, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry, along with optional third-party tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use must be lawful and must not interfere with the website or other visitors.
- Do not violate federal, Texas, or local law
- Do not stalk, threaten, or harass any person
- Do not use site content for an FCRA-regulated decision
- Do not gain or attempt unauthorized system access
- Do not run bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools
- Do not disrupt the website's speed, security, or availability
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information from this website or any linked service may not be used to harass, stalk, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Texas Public Sex Offender Registry information is intended for public safety. Misuse against a registrant may violate Texas law, and vigilante conduct is prohibited.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
Dallas County Criminal History does not create a background check, credit report, or consumer report and is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. Visitors may not use site or partner data to:
- Make hiring or termination decisions
- Evaluate an applicant for housing
- Set insurance terms or judge creditworthiness
- Determine eligibility for a license, benefit, or government program
- Carry out any other activity covered by the FCRA
A regulated background check must come from an authorized official channel or a screening provider that complies with the FCRA.
5. No Legal Advice
General explanations of Dallas County records are not legal advice and cannot determine how a charge, warrant, conviction, expunction, or nondisclosure rule applies to a person. A licensed Texas attorney can address a specific legal matter.
6. No Warranties
The website and its contents are offered "as is." No warranty is made that:
- Information will always be complete, accurate, or current
- The service will remain uninterrupted
- Every page will be free of bugs or security flaws
- A partner tool will return a correct or full result
Government data changes when cases are filed, corrected, restricted, dismissed, or expunged. Only the originating office can provide an official statement or certified copy.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to government pages, legal resources, or outside search providers. Their content, prices, availability, security, data practices, and terms are outside this site's control. A visitor should review the destination's rules before using it.
8. Intellectual Property
Unless otherwise stated, website text, logos, graphics, and code belong to Dallas County Criminal History or its content partners. They may not be copied, altered, distributed, or adapted without prior written permission.
