Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
When a visitor enters a name or date of birth into a third-party search tool, that input goes to the company operating the tool. We do not keep or log those search terms on our own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email sent to us is retained so that we can answer it. We keep the message within our organization and do not share it outside unless the law requires disclosure.
Data We Gather Automatically
When a page loads, the site may receive technical visit details such as:
- Device IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages opened and time spent on them.
- The referring site, when one is provided.
- Time stamps for page visits.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files stored by a browser. The site uses them and analytics services to understand traffic patterns, such as popular pages and where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies; some site features may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
- Keep the service working and improve page loading.
- Send search requests to the outside provider that operates a tool.
- See which topics visitors use and which need revision.
- Find and address technical problems.
- Display ads that may relate to visitor interests.
No Warrant Data on File
This site does not host, compile, maintain, or sell a warrant database or personal warrant records. It publishes general directions to Hopkins County offices that hold records, including the District Clerk, County Court at Law, JP courts, Municipal Courts, and Sheriff's Office. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or records about other people.
The county's Open Warrants page and the Sheriff contact page are official sources for local routing.
Third-Party Search Partners
Search boxes on some pages are operated by outside companies. Information typed into a partner's tool is subject to that company's privacy policy, retention schedule, and sharing practices. We do not control those rules. Review the provider's policy before submitting personal information.
Links to Other Websites
Pages link to court, clerk, Sheriff, state, and other resources. For example, the official District Clerk, Sulphur Springs Municipal Court, and Cumby Municipal Court pages have their own privacy practices. A link takes the visitor to that outside service, whose policy then applies.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to track visits across sites for ad selection. That activity is governed by the partner, not this policy.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Information may be processed or disclosed to:
- Search companies receiving a query entered into their tool.
- Analytics services measuring traffic and performance.
- Ad networks that place advertising on a page.
- A government or law-enforcement body when a valid legal order requires it.
How We Protect Your Data
We use standard safeguards for information we receive. Internet systems cannot be made perfectly secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur. We work to protect the data under our control.
Users Under 18
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from a person under 18. If a minor's information is sent to us, ask us to remove it through the listed contact channel.
Your Data Rights
Requests about information held by this private site can be sent to us. Separately, the Texas Public Information Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 552, governs requests for records held by Texas government bodies such as Hopkins County offices. It is not a visitor-data law for this private website.
- Ask what information we hold about you.
- Request correction of information that is wrong.
- Ask that data be erased where we can remove it.
- Ask about opting out of certain processing.
The Texas Public Information Act includes access rules and exceptions for public records. The county's published request page is labeled for financial data; ask the county where a warrant-record request belongs.
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. The newest text and its effective date will appear here, so review the page again if you want to know whether a practice changed.
Effective date: September 23, 2026
