Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
Words entered into a sponsored search feature may be sent to the independent provider that operates it. Avoid entering sensitive data that is not needed. That provider's policy governs its handling.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If a visitor sends a message through an available channel, the submitted name, address, contact details, and text may be retained long enough to respond, protect the service, and satisfy legal duties. Do not send private case documents.
Data We Gather Automatically
Servers and service providers may receive an IP address, browser and device details, referring page, pages viewed, timestamps, and basic interaction data. These logs support security, reliability, and aggregate measurement.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies or similar storage may remember preferences, measure site use, prevent abuse, or support third-party features. Browser settings can limit cookies, though some functions may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Information may be used to operate and secure the website, diagnose errors, understand aggregate use, answer a direct message, enforce terms, and meet lawful obligations. Visitor data is not used to create an official Rockwall County court record.
No Court-Record Data on File
This website does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of Rockwall County dockets or personal case files. It publishes general directions to the District Clerk, County Clerk, trial courts, re:SearchTX, and other official custodians. It is not a consumer reporting agency, and visitor information is not assembled into reports about third parties.
Third-Party Search Partners
Independent search or advertising providers may collect data under their own terms when a visitor uses their tools. Their services are separate from this website and from Rockwall County government. Review the provider's notice before submitting information.
Links to Other Websites
Links to Texas courts, Rockwall County offices, municipal courts, statutes, and outside services lead to websites with separate privacy practices. A link does not imply control over their content, security, availability, or data use.
Who Might See Your Data
Data may be available to hosting, analytics, security, or search providers that need it to perform contracted work. It may also be disclosed when law requires, to prevent harm or misuse, or during a lawful business transfer. Personal information is not sold as an official court record.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable administrative and technical safeguards are used, but no network, server, or transmission can be guaranteed secure. Visitors should limit what they submit and use official clerk channels for protected or sensitive court material.
Users Under 18
The website is not directed to children, and personal information is not knowingly sought from a child. A parent or guardian who believes a child submitted data may use the available site contact channel to request review.
Your Data Rights
Depending on applicable law, a visitor may ask to access, correct, or delete personal data, object to certain processing, or limit cookies. Rights and exceptions vary with the request. Texas court-file access is different: Rule 12 policy, court rules, clerk law, and Government Code section 552.0035 govern the relevant judiciary records.
Updates to This Policy
This policy may change as practices, services, or law change. A revised effective date identifies the current version.
