NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no government affiliation. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service intended for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or another purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its function is to identify Matagorda County, Texas record resources. It is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This private reference site operates independently of every government office. It does not store official criminal records, retrieve files, perform official checks, or submit documents for a visitor.
The material directs readers to Matagorda County custodians, including the Sheriff's Office, court clerks, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also display tools supplied by outside companies.
2. Rules for Using This Site
Use is conditioned on an agreement not to:
- Interfere with availability or prevent another person from using the service
- Deploy a bot, scraper, or other automated collection tool
- Attempt unauthorized access to a system, account, or protected area
- Use content for a hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decision
- Stalk, threaten, or harass a person using information found here
- Violate federal, Texas, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No information obtained here or through a linked tool may be used to stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or unlawfully discriminate. Misuse may violate law. Texas Public Sex Offender Registry information is supplied for public and community safety, never for vigilantism, threats, harassment, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This website is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and produces no credit report, consumer report, or official background check. Its partners are not presented as services for evaluating a job applicant, rental application, insurance risk, or creditworthiness. Information from any page or linked tool may not be used to:
- Make any other decision governed by the FCRA
- Determine access to a permit, license, or government program where regulated
- Assess creditworthiness or set an insurance premium
- Evaluate a renter or housing applicant
- Make a hiring, retention, or termination decision
A regulated check must be obtained from the Texas Department of Public Safety or a provider that lawfully complies with the FCRA for that purpose.
5. No Legal Advice
Published explanations are general information, not legal advice. A licensed Texas attorney should address how a charge, conviction, warrant, expunction, or nondisclosure rule applies to a particular matter.
6. No Warranties
All content is provided "as is," without a guarantee that:
- An outside search provider's result is complete or accurate
- Every page is free from an error, defect, or security weakness
- Access will remain uninterrupted
- Any item is accurate, complete, or current at a given moment
Criminal files change as charges are filed, dismissed, restricted, or expunged. Delays and gaps are unavoidable. No text here is an official statement from a clerk, sheriff, court, or agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to courts, sheriffs, Texas agencies, legal resources, and outside search services. Those sites are beyond our control. Their content, privacy practices, charges, terms, and availability are their responsibility and should be reviewed before use.
