Data You Give Us Directly
Search Queries
A query entered in a search tool is sent to the outside provider that operates that tool. The provider processes the input and supplies its results. McLennan County Court Docket does not keep or log those terms on its own systems.
Messages and Contact Submissions
An email or direct message may be retained to respond and maintain the related correspondence. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law.

- Pages viewed and time spent on them
- Referring website, when available
- Date and time of each request
Cookies and Analytics
Cookies help measure how visitors use the website. Analytics providers may combine events into traffic reports. Browser controls can block cookies, although some features may then work differently.

- Measure which reference pages visitors use
- Diagnose errors, misuse, and security problems
- Display advertising that may reflect visitor interests
No Court-Record Data on File
This website does not host, sell, maintain, or compile a database of personal court cases. It publishes directions to the McLennan County District Clerk, District Court resources, County Clerk, local courts, and re:SearchTX. Official records remain with the court or clerk. Visitor data is not assembled into a consumer report or a file about another person.
Third-Party Search Partners
Outside companies power the displayed search tools. Data entered there is governed by that provider’s privacy, retention, and sharing policies. Those practices are not controlled here. Review the provider’s policy before submitting a query.
Links to Other Websites
Links may lead to the McLennan County Case Search, District Clerk, re:SearchTX, courts, or outside services. The destination’s privacy policy governs once a visitor follows a link.
Advertising partners may use their systems to measure activity or select targeted advertising. Such tracking is not a McLennan County court-record database maintained here.
Who Might See Your Data
Personal data is not sold. Limited information may be received by:
- Search providers processing a submitted query
- Analytics vendors measuring traffic and performance
- Advertising networks serving material
- Authorities acting under a valid legal demand
How We Protect Your Data
Reasonable, commonly used safeguards apply to information under the website’s control. No internet service can promise absolute security, and no storage or transmission method removes every risk.
Users Under 18
The website is intended for adults and does not knowingly collect personal information from anyone under 18. If information from a minor is identified, a request may be made for deletion.
Your Data Rights
When applicable, the Texas Data Privacy and Security Act, Texas Business and Commerce Code Chapter 541, may grant a Texas consumer rights concerning personal data processed by a covered controller. Subject to statutory scope, exceptions, authentication, and appeal rules, those may include:
- Confirming processing and obtaining access
- Correcting inaccurate personal data
- Deleting covered personal data
- Receiving covered data in a portable format
- Opting out of targeted advertising, sale, or qualifying profiling
Visitor-data rights differ from court-record access. Judicial files may fall under Texas Rule of Judicial Administration 12. The Texas Public Information Act covers many government records but excludes the judiciary from its ordinary framework.
