Information Visitors Provide
Search Terms
When a visitor enters a name, location, or similar term into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider operating the tool. Dallas County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own records.
Messages
If someone sends an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to read it, respond, and handle related follow-up. Messages are not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement calls for disclosure.
Technical Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive basic technical data when a page loads. That data can include:
- IP address.
- Browser type and version.
- Device category and operating system.
- Pages viewed and time spent on pages.
- Referring website, when one is passed along.
- Date and time stamps.
Cookies
Cookies may be used to understand how visitors use the site and to support advertising or analytics features. Browser settings can block or delete cookies, though some features may work differently when cookies are disabled.
How Information Is Used
- To keep the site available, readable, and reasonably fast.
- To send search requests to the correct partner service.
- To understand which Dallas County pages are useful to visitors.
- To diagnose broken links, errors, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be relevant to visitor interests.
Links Leaving This Site
Dallas County Inmate Population links to jail rosters, sheriff pages, court portals, TDCJ, BOP, ICE, VINELink, public-information resources under Texas Government Code Chapter 552, and third-party search tools. Once a visitor leaves this site, the privacy policy and data practices of the outside website apply.
Advertising partners may also use their own systems to measure activity across websites and deliver targeted ads. That tracking is controlled by the advertising provider, not by Dallas County Inmate Population.
