Information Visitors Submit
Search entries
A name, location, or other term entered in a search tool is sent to the third-party company that operates that tool. This site does not store or log those search terms on its own systems. The provider handles the query under its own privacy terms.
Messages
Information sent by email or through a contact form is retained as needed to read and answer the message. Contact submissions are not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Technical Data Collected Automatically

- The internet protocol address associated with the request
- Browser name and version
- Device category and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- The referring site, when supplied
- Date and time stamps

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors move through the site. Browser controls can block or delete cookies. Some functions or preferences may behave differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Supports Operations
Collected information may be used to keep pages available and responsive, send a submitted search to the appropriate partner service, learn which resources visitors use, detect and repair technical problems, and display advertising that may reflect a visitor's interests.
Other Sites and Advertising
Links lead to the Dimmit County Sheriff, Texas corrections resources, release-record portals, statutes, and third-party search services. Once a visitor follows a link, the destination's privacy policy governs its collection and use of information.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to measure activity across websites and tailor advertisements. That tracking occurs on the partner's systems, not as a record maintained by this site.
Parties That May Receive Data
Personal information is not sold. Limited information may be handled by search partners that process a visitor's query, analytics providers that measure site use, advertising networks that deliver ads, and law enforcement or other government bodies acting under a valid legal order.
Reasonable Security Measures
Standard safeguards are used to reduce unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed fully secure, however. This notice does not promise that a breach or technical failure can never occur.
Visitors Under Eighteen
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted personal data may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Privacy Choices and Requests
Subject to applicable law and the ability to verify a request, a visitor may ask for a copy of personal information held by the site, request correction of inaccurate details, seek deletion, or object to certain processing. Requests may be submitted through the Contact Us page. These choices concern information held here, not records maintained by the Sheriff, a court, TDCJ, or another government custodian.
Changes to This Notice
Privacy practices may change as site functions or legal requirements change. A revised notice takes effect when posted here with an updated effective date.
