Privacy Notice

This notice explains what information may be collected when someone uses Real County Inmate Population, how that information is used, and when it may be shared. By continuing to use the site, visitors accept the practices described here. Official public records held by Real County or Texas agencies are handled by those agencies, including under Texas Government Code Chapter 552 when a public information request is made to the government office.

Information You Provide

Search Terms

When a name, location, or other lookup detail is entered into a third-party search tool, that query is sent to the provider operating the tool. Real County Inmate Population does not keep a separate site-side log of those search terms.

Messages

If you send an email or contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review it and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.

Information Collected Automatically

Routine technical data may be collected when pages load or when site features are used.

  • Internet Protocol address.
  • Browser type and browser version.
  • Device type and operating system.
  • Pages viewed and time spent on those pages.
  • Referring website, when one is available.
  • Date and time stamps tied to site activity.

Cookies

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site traffic and feature use. Browser settings can usually block or delete cookies, although some features may behave differently when cookies are disabled.

How the Information Is Used

  • To keep the site available, stable, and reasonably fast.
  • To send search requests to the partner service selected by the visitor.
  • To understand which Real County jail, court, and custody pages are useful.
  • To identify and repair technical errors, broken links, or abuse.
  • To display advertising that may be based on general interests or site activity.

Links Beyond This Site

Real County Inmate Population links to sheriff pages, county public information resources, TDCJ, VINELink, BOP, ICE, court portals, and third-party search tools. After a visitor follows an outside link, that site's own privacy policy controls its collection and use of information.

Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize activity across websites for measurement or interest-based advertising. That tracking is handled on their platforms, not as an official Real County record process.

  • Analytics providers used to understand traffic and site performance.
  • Advertising networks that deliver or measure ads.
  • Law enforcement, courts, regulators, or other government bodies when required by a valid legal order.

Security

Reasonable security practices are used for this site, but no internet-connected service can be promised to be completely secure. We cannot guarantee that data will never be accessed, altered, or interrupted by an unauthorized party.
