Information You Enter
Search Terms
When you type a name, location, or other search detail into a partner search box, that query is sent to the third-party provider that operates the tool. Bastrop County Inmate Population does not store those search terms on its own server.
Messages
If you email us or send a contact message, the information in that message may be kept long enough to review and respond. It is not shared outside the organization unless disclosure is required by law or a valid legal process.
