Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered into a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that search. The provider processes the entry and supplies its results under its own terms. Wichita County Court Docket does not keep or log the name, case number, or other search terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
If you email us, the message and contact details may be retained so a response can be prepared. We do not disclose that correspondence outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Normal server and analytics records may collect the device’s IP address, browser and version, operating system and device type, referring site, visited pages, time spent, and page-view timestamps.
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies and analytics services help measure aggregate use, such as popular pages and points where visitors leave. Browser controls can reject or remove cookies, though parts of the website may then work differently.
What We Do With This Data
Technical and usage data supports website operation and performance. It may be used to route requests to the proper partner service, understand which material visitors use, diagnose faults, improve page speed, and display advertising that may be relevant to a visitor’s interests.
No Court-Record Data on File
Wichita County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of Wichita County case records or personal court information. It publishes general directions to public sources such as the Wichita County District Clerk, Wichita County Clerk, local trial courts, the Odyssey Portal, and re:SearchTX. It is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor data is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power search boxes that may appear on the website. Information submitted there is governed by the search partner’s privacy policy, retention rules, and disclosure practices, not this policy. Review the partner’s terms before entering any query because we do not control its systems.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the Wichita County Odyssey Portal, District Clerk, County Clerk, Texas courts, legal resources, or outside tools. Once a visitor leaves this website, the destination’s privacy policy controls. Advertising providers may also use their own technology to measure activity across websites; that processing occurs on their systems.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Limited data may be available to vendors that provide analytics, advertising, hosting, or search processing. It may also be disclosed to a law-enforcement agency, court, or other government body when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards are applied to information within our control. No internet transmission, storage system, or security measure can guarantee absolute protection, so we cannot promise that unauthorized access will never occur.
Users Under 18
This website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If we learn that a minor supplied personal information directly, we will take reasonable steps to delete it.
Your Data Rights
Applicable federal or Texas privacy and consumer-protection law may provide rights concerning personal data, depending on the visitor and the processing involved. The Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 541, provides qualifying Texas consumers rights subject to its definitions, exceptions, and verification rules. A person may be able to request access, correction, or deletion, obtain a portable copy, or opt out of covered targeted advertising, sale, or certain profiling. These rights concern data handled by this private website. Access to judicial and court records follows separate Texas law and court rules, including Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12 and the judiciary’s distinction from the Texas Public Information Act.
Updates to This Policy
This privacy policy may be revised as practices, services, or legal requirements change. A revised version will be posted here and identified by a new effective date. Continued use after an update is governed by the policy then displayed.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
