Information You Enter
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar search detail into a partner search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. This site does not keep its own separate log of those search terms.
Messages
If you send an email or contact message, the message and contact details may be kept long enough to respond and manage the request. Those messages are not shared outside the organization except when disclosure is required by law.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive standard technical information when a page loads. That data helps measure traffic, diagnose problems, and maintain the service.
- IP address.
- Browser name and version.
- Device type and operating system.
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on each page.
- Referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings, although some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep pages available, usable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service when a visitor uses a partner tool.
- To understand which McLennan County jail and inmate-record pages are useful to visitors.
- To identify technical errors and improve site reliability.
- To display advertising that may be related to visitor interests.
Other Websites and Public Records
This site links to sheriff pages, jail rosters, court portals, TDCJ resources, federal locators, the McLennan County Sheriff's GovQA portal, and third-party search tools. After you leave this site, the privacy notice and terms for the destination site control how your information is handled. Public-records requests made to Texas government offices may also be governed by Texas Government Code Chapter 552 and related public-information rules.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across different websites. That tracking is handled on their systems, not by this site as an official McLennan County records system.
Who May Receive Information
Personal information is not sold as a standalone list. It may be available to limited parties that help operate, measure, or legally protect the site.
- Search partners that process queries submitted through their tools.
- Analytics providers that measure traffic and page performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security
Reasonable security practices are used to protect information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed completely secure, so this notice does not promise that information is immune from every possible breach or misuse.
Visitors Under 18

Your Choices and Requests
