Information You Submit
Search Tool Inputs
When a visitor enters a name or date of birth into a search box, that query goes to the outside provider operating the tool. The provider processes it and returns its own results. Cherokee County Warrant Records does not keep or log those search terms on its own systems.
Messages
If you send an email to the site, the message is retained so the team can reply. It is kept within the organization and is not shared outside it unless a legal duty requires disclosure.
Information Collected Automatically
When a page opens, technical information about the visit may be recorded, including:
- Pages viewed and time spent on each page
- IP address assigned to the device
- Browser name, version, device type, and operating system
- The referring site, when one is provided
- Date and time stamps for page activity
Cookies and Analytics
Small cookie files may be stored on a device. They help measure which pages are used and where visitors leave. Analytics services may combine traffic information for reporting. Browser controls can block cookies, though some site functions may then work differently.
How We Use Information
- To keep the site available and improve loading
- To pass a search query to the provider selected by the visitor
- To see which pages need clearer information
- To diagnose and correct technical faults
- To display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor
No Warrant Data Stored Here
This site does not host, sell, compile, or maintain a database of warrants or individual warrant cases. It publishes general directions to the Cherokee County sheriff, District Clerk, courts, JP precincts, and municipal courts that keep official records. Visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or files about other people.
The Texas Public Information Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 552, applies to public records held by government bodies. It does not turn this private site's visitor data into a government record. A public warrant request should go to the office that holds the case.
Texas Government Code Chapter 552 explains access to government-held information.
Outside Search Providers
Some search boxes are operated by companies outside this site. The provider's privacy terms cover any data entered into its tool. Those companies decide how long to retain information and whether to share it. Review the provider's notice before submitting a query.
Links to Other Services
The site links to Cherokee County offices, court portals, state resources, and third-party search tools. A link takes the visitor to a service with its own privacy terms. Read that service's policy before sharing personal information.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to track activity across different sites. Those practices are outside our control.
Who May Receive Information
Personal data is not sold by the site. Information may be processed by:
- Outside search companies handling a submitted query
- Analytics providers measuring site traffic
- Ad networks that place advertising
- Government or law-enforcement bodies when a valid legal order requires it
Steps to Protect Information
Standard security practices are used to guard information collected by the site. Internet services cannot be made completely secure, so a breach cannot be ruled out. The site takes steps to protect data but cannot promise that unauthorized access will never happen.
Visitors Under 18
The service is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If a minor's information has been sent to the site, a parent or guardian may request its deletion.
Your Information Choices
The Texas Public Information Act is a law about records held by government bodies, not a general privacy statute for visitors to this private site. Separately, a visitor may ask the site to:
- Provide a copy of information held about them
- Correct a detail that is wrong
- Delete information collected from them
- Stop certain processing where available
Requests are handled subject to the site's records and any legal retention duty.
Changes to This Policy
The privacy terms may be revised from time to time. The current text will be posted here with its new effective date. Review this page again if you want to know how information is handled.
Effective date: September 23, 2026
