Information You Submit
Search entries
A name or location entered into a search box is sent to the independent provider that operates that tool. We do not store or log those search terms on our systems. The provider's own privacy terms govern its handling of the query.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact form, we retain the message and contact details needed to answer. We do not disclose that correspondence outside our organization unless the law requires it.
Automatic Technical Data

- Internet Protocol address

- Device type and operating system
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring page or website, when supplied
- Date and time stamps
Cookies help us understand site use and support ordinary features. A browser can block or remove cookies, though parts of the site may then work differently.
How Information Is Used
Collected information supports site operations and helps us understand whether the Bowie County resource works as intended.
- Operate the site and maintain reasonable speed
- Send a search request to the selected partner service
- Measure which pages visitors find useful
- Diagnose and repair technical problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
Sites Beyond Our Control
Links may lead to Bowie County release-record resources, sheriff and corrections pages, Texas government portals, or independent search tools. After a visitor leaves this site, the destination's privacy policy controls its collection and use of data.
Advertising partners may use their own technology to observe activity across websites and select interest-based ads. That processing occurs in their systems, not ours.
Limited Data Sharing
We do not sell personal information. Data may nevertheless be processed by a small set of service recipients.
- Search partners that receive a submitted query
- Analytics vendors that measure site activity
- Advertising networks that deliver ads
- Law enforcement or another government authority responding to a valid legal order
Reasonable Security Measures
We use customary safeguards intended to reduce unauthorized access, loss, or misuse. No internet service or electronic storage method is completely secure, so we cannot promise that a breach will never occur.
Adults Only
The site is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 18. A parent or guardian who believes a minor submitted information may use the Contact Us page to request deletion.
Your Privacy Choices
Subject to applicable law and our ability to verify the request, a user may ask us to:
- Provide a copy of personal data we hold
- Correct inaccurate personal information
- Erase information that is eligible for deletion
- Opt out of certain forms of processing
Texas public records held by Bowie County, TDCJ, courts, or another agency are controlled by that custodian under the Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, and are not user data maintained by this site.
Changes to This Notice
We may revise this privacy notice as the site, vendors, or legal requirements change. A new version takes effect when posted here with an updated effective date.
