Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search tool is transmitted to the outside company operating that tool. The provider processes the name or case number and supplies its results. San Patricio County Court Docket does not keep a local log of those search terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email may be retained long enough to answer and maintain the related correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is legally required.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server operation records limited technical facts when a page loads:
- The IP address assigned to your device
- Which browser you are using and its version
- Your device type and operating system
- The pages you visited and how long you stayed on each
- The site that sent you here, if any
- Timestamps for each page view
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small device files used to understand traffic patterns and page performance. Analytics providers combine visit data into reports. A browser can refuse cookies, although doing so may change how some features operate.
What We Do With This Data
- Keeping the site up, running, and loading quickly
- Sending your search requests to the right partner service
- Figuring out which pages people find useful and which need work
- Tracking down and fixing technical issues
- Showing ads that may line up with your interests
No Court-Record Data on File
No database of personal case records or San Patricio County dockets is hosted, compiled, maintained, or sold here. The content identifies official custodians, including the District Clerk, County Clerk, trial courts, and re:SearchTX. Visitor information is not assembled into a consumer report, and this website is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
The Texas Public Information Act appears in Government Code Chapter 552, but section 552.0035 treats the judiciary and adjudicative court records differently from ordinary agency records. Court-case access follows the applicable court rules and custodian process; the Act should not be read as a promise that every case filing is available here or through a standard agency request.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies operate the search boxes. Information submitted there is governed by that company's privacy policy, retention choices, and sharing terms rather than this policy. Review those terms before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Throughout the site we link to clerk of court pages, trial court portals, statewide case-search systems, legal aid groups, and third-party search tools. Clicking any of those links takes you off our site. At that point, their privacy policy governs your visit. Read it before sharing any personal details.
Certain advertising partners may track your activity across sites to show targeted ads. That tracking runs on their systems, not ours.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal data. Some information may end up with:
- Search partners that handle queries you run on our site
- Analytics services we use to track traffic and performance
- Ad networks that place ads on our pages
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid legal order requires it
How We Protect Your Data
We follow standard security practices to safeguard the data we collect. But nothing connected to the internet is bulletproof. We do what we can to keep your information secure, though we cannot promise a breach will never happen.
Users Under 18
This site is meant for adults. We do not knowingly gather personal information from anyone under 18. If you think a minor has shared data with us, reach out and we'll delete it right away.
Your Data Rights
Depending on where you live, applicable Texas privacy and consumer-protection law may give you additional rights over your data. At a minimum, you can:
- Ask for a copy of what we have on file about you
- Have us fix information that is wrong
- Request that we erase your data
- Opt out of certain kinds of data processing
