NO FCRA USE. This privately owned website has no government affiliation and is not a consumer reporting agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant screening, or any other purpose regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. Its role is limited to locating Cooke County and Texas public-record resources.
1. What This Website Is
Cooke County Criminal History is an independent reference site. It does not store official criminal files, perform government background checks, retrieve records on request, or submit paperwork for a visitor.
Its content points to the Cooke County Sheriff, local court clerks, the Texas Department of Public Safety Crime Records Division, the Texas Public Sex Offender Registry, and other official custodians. Some pages also connect to outside search services.
2. Rules for Using This Site
You must use the website and any information reached through it lawfully.

- Do not stalk, intimidate, threaten, or harass a person
- Do not use content for an FCRA-regulated decision
- Do not seek unauthorized access to systems or accounts
- Do not operate bots, scrapers, or automated collection tools against the pages
- Do not impair performance or block access for another visitor
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
Information found here or through a linked tool may not be used to stalk, harass, threaten, intimidate, or unlawfully discriminate. Texas sex offender registry data is intended for safety awareness. Threats, vigilantism, and misuse against a registrant or household are prohibited and can lead to criminal or civil consequences.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
This website produces no consumer report, credit file, or background screening product and is not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA. You agree not to use site content or a linked result for any covered decision.

5. No Legal Advice
Explanations of Cooke County records are general information, not legal advice. Only a licensed Texas attorney can advise how a charge, warrant, judgment, expunction, nondisclosure rule, or filing deadline applies to a specific matter.
6. No Warranties
The website and its content are provided "as is." No promise is made that:
- Information will always be accurate, complete, or current
- Access will be continuous or free from interruption
- Every page will be free of defects or security risks
- An outside search result will be complete or correctly matched
Cooke County and Texas records change through filing, correction, restriction, and disposition. Nothing here is an official statement by a court, sheriff, police department, clerk, or state agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links can lead to official agencies, courts, statutes, legal resources, advertisers, and outside search providers. We do not control their content, prices, privacy practices, availability, or results. Their own terms apply after you leave this website.

11. Governing Law
Texas law governs these terms. A dispute related to use of the site must be brought in a court with jurisdiction in Texas. Government access to Cooke County records remains subject to the Texas Public Information Act, while criminal-history dissemination by DPS is governed by Government Code Chapter 411.
