Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, case number, or other term entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results; we do not retain or record the query on our systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We may retain a message sent to us for the purpose of responding. It is kept within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our servers automatically receive certain technical information when a page loads, including:
- Page-view dates and times
- Referring website information, when available
- Pages viewed and approximate time spent on them
- Device type and operating system
- Browser type and version
- Your device's Internet Protocol address
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device that help us understand site use, such as popular pages and where visits end. Analytics providers combine this information into traffic reports. You may block cookies through browser controls, although doing so can change how some site features operate.
What We Do With This Data
- Diagnosing and correcting technical problems
- Measuring which pages are useful or need improvement
- Operating the site and maintaining its performance
- Routing a submitted search to the appropriate partner
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
We do not host, sell, maintain, or compile a database of court dockets or personal case information. This site explains how to reach Grimes County's District Clerk, County Clerk, courts, LGS index, and Texas search resources. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes found on this site. Their privacy policies, retention periods, and disclosure rules apply to information submitted through those tools. Because we do not control those practices, review the provider's policy before entering a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Grimes County clerk pages, Texas court resources, legal-aid organizations, or commercial search services. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy controls; review it before supplying personal information.
Advertising providers may use their own systems to measure activity across websites and select targeted advertisements.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal information is not sold. It may be disclosed to:
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers processing a query you submit
- Advertising networks serving content on our pages
- Government or law-enforcement authorities acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used security measures protect information in our control. No internet-connected service can guarantee absolute security, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone younger than 18. If we learn that a minor supplied such information, we will remove it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable Texas privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights concerning personal data. Texas Government Code Chapter 552 governs requests for government-held public information, while Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12 governs many judicial records outside court case files; neither makes this private website the custodian of Grimes County records. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Object to certain forms of processing
- Request deletion of personal information
- Ask that inaccurate information be corrected
- Request access to personal information we hold about you
Updates to This Policy
This policy may be revised from time to time. Any revision will appear here with a replacement effective date, so visitors should review this page periodically.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
