Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, county, or other detail into a search tool, that request is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Wheeler County Inmate Population does not keep its own log of those search terms.
Messages Sent to Us
If you email us or send a contact message, we use the information in that message to respond. We do not share those messages outside our organization unless a legal requirement calls for it.
Information Collected Automatically
Like most websites, this site may receive technical information when a page loads, including:
- Your IP address.
- Your browser type and version.
- Your device type and operating system.
- The pages viewed and approximate time spent on them.
- The referring website, when one is available.
- Date and time stamps for visits.
Cookies
Cookies and similar tools help measure how visitors use the site and whether pages are working properly. You can block cookies in your browser, although some features or measurements may work differently after you do.
How We Use Information
- To keep the site available, stable, and fast.
- To route search requests to the partner service that handles them.
- To understand which Wheeler County pages visitors use most.
- To identify broken links, errors, and technical problems.
- To display advertising that may be based on general visitor interests.
Outside Websites
This site links to the Wheeler County Sheriff's Office, Wheeler County Jail information, Texas Public Information Act resources under Government Code Chapter 552, Texas court resources, TDCJ, VINELink, federal locators, and third-party search services. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy of the destination website controls what happens there.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to recognize visits across websites and show targeted ads. That activity happens through those partners, not through a government agency or Wheeler County office.

- Search partners that process submitted lookup requests.

- Advertising networks used to support the site.
- Law enforcement or government bodies when a valid subpoena, court order, or other legal process requires disclosure.
Security
We use ordinary safeguards intended to protect the information handled by the site. No internet-connected service can be guaranteed breach-proof, so we cannot promise absolute security.
