Information You Provide
Search Queries
When you type a name, county, or other lookup detail into a search tool, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Cooke County Inmate Population does not store those search terms in its own official-record database and does not host Cooke County jail records.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, we may keep the information needed to read and answer it. We do not share contact messages outside the organization unless a valid legal requirement makes disclosure necessary.

Cookies and similar tools may be used to understand site usage and support advertising or analytics. You can block cookies in your browser settings, but some features or partner tools may work differently if cookies are disabled.

Outside Websites
This site links to Cooke County sheriff pages, the Cooke County jail roster, court-record portals, Texas Department of Criminal Justice resources, federal locators, and third-party search tools. Once you leave this site, the privacy policy and terms of the outside website control your use of that service.
Advertising partners may use their own systems to measure ads or tailor advertising across websites. Those activities happen under the partner's policies, not under Cooke County's public-record rules or this site's direct control.
Who May Receive Data
We do not sell personal contact messages. Limited information may be shared with service providers or disclosed when the law requires it.
- Search partners that process lookup requests.
- Analytics services that measure traffic and site performance.
- Advertising networks that serve or measure ads.
- Law enforcement, courts, or government bodies when a valid legal order requires disclosure.
Security Practices
We use reasonable safeguards for the information handled through this site. No internet-connected service can be promised as breach-proof, and no method of transmission or storage is completely secure.
