NO FCRA USE. This privately operated website has no affiliation with any government body. Neither it nor its advertising partners offers a service for credit, employment, insurance, tenant, or other decisions regulated by the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Its purpose is to help readers locate criminal-record resources in Rains County, Texas. It is neither a private-investigation firm nor a consumer reporting agency.
1. What This Website Is
This is a private reference site with no government ties. It does not hold official criminal records and cannot retrieve records, conduct an official check, or submit paperwork for a user.
Its content identifies offices that maintain Rains County records, including the sheriff, court clerks, Texas Department of Public Safety, and Texas Public Sex Offender Registry. Some pages also connect readers to outside research tools.
2. Rules for Using This Site
By using the site, you agree not to:
- Interfere with the service or prevent another person from using it
- Deploy scrapers, bots, or other automated collection tools
- Attempt unauthorized access to any system or account
- Use site content for lending, insurance, employment, or housing decisions
- Threaten, stalk, or harass anyone with information found here
- Violate a federal, Texas, or local law
3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination
No one may use this site or a linked tool to intimidate, stalk, threaten, harass, or discriminate against another person. Such conduct may also be criminal. Texas Code of Criminal Procedure Chapter 62 governs sex-offender registration information, which exists for public notice and safety, not vigilantism or prohibited discrimination.
4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency
We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not create credit reports, background checks, or consumer reports. Our advertising partners' tools are not offered for regulated screening. You may not use information from this site or a linked tool to:
- Set insurance rates or evaluate credit
- Screen a housing or rental applicant
- Make a hiring or termination decision
- Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or public program
- Carry out any other FCRA-regulated purpose
A regulated background check must come from an authorized, FCRA-compliant provider or the official channel applicable to that purpose.
5. No Legal Advice
Site content is general information, not legal advice. It cannot determine how a Rains County charge, conviction, warrant, expunction, or nondisclosure rule applies to one case. Seek advice from a Texas-licensed attorney.
6. No Warranties
All material and services are supplied "as is." We make no promise that:
- An outside search result will be complete or correct
- Pages will be free from bugs, errors, or security flaws
- The service will remain available without interruption
- Any item of information will always be current, complete, or accurate
Criminal records can change when charges are filed or dismissed and when an expunction or nondisclosure order takes effect. Gaps may occur. Site content is never an official statement by Rains County, a court, a sheriff, or a Texas agency.
7. Third-Party Services and Links
Links may lead to courts, sheriff pages, Texas agencies, legal resources, and independent search services. Those destinations are outside our control. We are not responsible for their availability, content, fees, or data practices. Review the destination's own terms.
8. Intellectual Property
Rains County Criminal History or its content partners owns the site's text, graphics, logos, and code. Written permission is required before copying, altering, distributing, or making derivative works from that material.
9. Limits on Our Liability
To the maximum extent allowed by law, we disclaim liability for loss or damage arising from use of the site, its information, or a linked service.
10. Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from claims, demands, and proceedings caused by your site use or violation of these terms, including related legal costs and fees.
11. Governing Law
Texas law governs these terms. Relevant state authorities include the Texas Deceptive Trade Practices Act in Business & Commerce Code Chapter 17, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act in Chapter 541, the Texas Public Information Act in Government Code Chapter 552, and criminal-history dissemination rules in Government Code Chapter 411. Any dispute concerning site use must be brought in a court located in Texas.
12. Changes to These Terms
We may revise these terms. A revised version takes effect when it is posted to this page.
13. Cutting Off Access
We may suspend or end access at any time, for any reason, and without prior notice.
