Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A name, cause number, or other term entered in a search tool is sent directly to the outside provider operating that tool. The provider processes the request and supplies its results. Potter County Court Docket does not keep or log those query terms.
Messages and Contact Submissions
We retain an email or other direct message as needed to answer it. It remains within our organization unless disclosure is required by law.
Data We Gather Automatically
Our systems may automatically receive routine technical information when a page loads:
- Page-view dates and times
- Device type and operating system
- Browser type and version
- IP address
- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- A referring website, when available
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies are small files placed on a device. Along with analytics services, they help us understand aggregate use, including popular pages and points where visits end. Browser controls can block cookies, although doing so may change how some features work.
What We Do With This Data
- Routing a query to the selected search provider
- Operating and improving site performance
- Diagnosing errors and technical problems
- Measuring which content visitors use
- Displaying advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
Potter County Court Docket does not host, maintain, compile, or sell a database of dockets or personal case records. It publishes general directions to the Potter County District Clerk, other responsible clerks and courts, and re:SearchTX. We are not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and visitor information is not assembled into consumer reports or third-party case profiles.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the search boxes. Their own privacy terms govern submitted information, retention, and sharing, and we do not control those practices. Review the applicable provider policy before running a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to Potter County clerk pages, Texas court portals, legal-aid resources, or outside search services. Once you leave this website, the destination's privacy policy governs. Review it before providing personal information.
Advertising providers may use their systems to observe activity across websites for targeted advertising.
Who Might See Your Data
We do not sell personal information. Data may be available to:
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Search providers processing a query
- Advertising networks serving ads
- Government or law-enforcement bodies acting under a valid legal order
How We Protect Your Data
We use customary safeguards for collected data. No internet-connected system can be guaranteed secure, 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 eighteen. If we learn that a minor supplied such data, we will delete it.
Your Data Rights
Rights may vary by residence and applicable privacy or consumer-protection law. The Texas Public Information Act, Government Code Chapter 552, governs many governmental records, while judicial records follow Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12. Those access rules concern official records held by government or judicial custodians, not visitor data kept by this private website. Subject to applicable law, you may:
- Request deletion of your information
- Ask what information we hold about you
- Request correction of inaccurate data
- Opt out of processing where the law provides that choice
Updates to This Policy
We may revise this policy. A revised version will appear here with its new effective date, so visitors should review the page periodically.
Effective date: September 7, 2026
