Terms & Conditions

These terms govern access to and use of Houston County Released Inmates. By browsing or using the site, you agree to follow them. If you do not accept every condition, please do not use the site or its linked tools.

Houston County Released Inmates is privately owned and has no government, sheriff, jail, or corrections affiliation. Neither this site nor its advertising partners provides an FCRA-covered credit, employment, insurance, or tenant-screening service. The site is not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.


Nature of the Site

This is a private reference resource with no connection to Houston County, the Houston County Sheriff, Houston County Jail, Minnesota DOC, or any court or government office. It stores no official jail, release, corrections, or court records. We cannot confirm live custody, release a person, or submit government forms for a visitor.

The site points readers toward Houston County and Minnesota record resources and may connect them with independent research tools. An outside provider controls its own service, results, price, and terms.

No Consumer Reports

Houston County Released Inmates is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act. It supplies no background check, credit report, consumer report, or screening service, and neither do its advertising partners through this site. You agree not to use site content or a linked result for an FCRA-covered purpose.

Links to Outside Services

Links may lead to sheriff and corrections sites, release-record portals, courts, legal-aid resources, federal locators, or independent search tools. A link is not an endorsement. We do not control an outside site’s content, privacy practices, data handling, security, or availability. Review its own terms before using it.


No Warranties

The site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available.” We make no warranty about:

  • The accuracy, completeness, or current state of information
  • Continuous or uninterrupted access
  • The absence of errors, defects, or security weaknesses
  • The scope or quality of a partner’s search results

Custody status, release data, addresses, fees, and public-record access can change. Nothing on this site is an official statement by the Houston County Sheriff, Minnesota DOC, a court, or another agency.


Limits on Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the site, its owners, and contributors will not be liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or other damages arising from access to, reliance on, or inability to use the site or a linked service.


Your Duty to Indemnify

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold the site and its owners harmless from claims, losses, liabilities, and reasonable legal fees caused by your use of the site or violation of these terms.


Ownership of Site Materials

Unless stated otherwise, the site’s original text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Houston County Released Inmates or its content partners. You may not copy, distribute, modify, or republish those materials without written permission.


Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms at any time. A revised version becomes effective when posted here, and continued use after posting means acceptance of the updated conditions.


Suspension of Access

We may limit, suspend, or end access to the site at any time, for any lawful reason, and without advance notice.


Minnesota Law Controls

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. Any dispute must be brought in a court with proper jurisdiction in Minnesota.


Severability of These Terms

If a court finds one part of these terms invalid or unenforceable, the remaining terms stay in effect. The affected provision will be adjusted only as much as needed to make it enforceable where possible.
