Terms of Use

These conditions govern use of Tensas Parish Criminal History. Visiting a page, reading its material, or submitting a search means that you agree to them. If you do not accept the terms, discontinue use of the website.

NO FCRA USE. This is a privately operated website with no affiliation to a local, Louisiana, or federal government agency. Neither the site nor its advertising partners provides a service for credit checks, employment screening, insurance underwriting, tenant evaluation, or any other Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) purpose. Tensas Parish Criminal History is a public-records reference, not a private investigation firm or consumer reporting agency.

1. What This Website Is

This private reference site operates independently from government. It neither stores official criminal records nor retrieves files, conducts an official background check, or submits paperwork for a visitor.

The site identifies official custodians serving Tensas Parish, including the Sheriff, Sixth Judicial District Court and Clerk, Louisiana State Police, Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information, and the State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry. It also links to outside research tools.

2. Rules for Using This Site

As a condition of access, you agree not to:

  • Use the website in violation of federal, Louisiana, or local law
  • Threaten, stalk, or harass a person using information found here
  • Rely on site content for hiring, housing, lending, or insurance decisions
  • Attempt unauthorized access to the site or its systems
  • Operate a scraper, bot, or other automated collection tool against the pages
  • Interfere with site performance or another visitor’s access

3. No Harassment, Stalking, or Discrimination

You may not use this site or a linked tool to intimidate, harass, stalk, threaten, or discriminate against anyone. Such conduct may also violate law. The Louisiana State Sex Offender and Child Predator Registry exists for public-safety awareness and notification, not vigilantism, employment blacklisting, or housing discrimination. Misuse of registry information against a listed person may carry criminal consequences.

4. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

We are not a consumer reporting agency under the FCRA and do not produce credit reports, background checks, or other consumer reports. Our advertising partners likewise do not offer linked services for evaluating job or rental applications, creditworthiness, or insurance rates. You must not use information from this site or its linked tools to:

  • Make a hiring or termination decision
  • Evaluate a prospective renter or housing applicant
  • Set insurance terms or assess creditworthiness
  • Decide eligibility for a permit, license, or government benefit
  • Carry out any other FCRA-regulated activity

For a legally authorized check connected to one of those purposes, use an FCRA-compliant provider or the appropriate official process through Louisiana State Police, Bureau of Criminal Identification and Information.

5. No Legal Advice

Site content is not legal advice. General explanations of Tensas Parish records cannot determine how a warrant, charge, conviction, or Louisiana expungement provision applies to a specific matter. Consult a Louisiana-licensed attorney for individual advice.

6. No Warranties

All content is provided "as is," without a guarantee that:

  • Partner-search results will be complete or accurate
  • Published information will always be current, complete, or correct
  • The website will remain available without interruption
  • Every page will be free from bugs, errors, or security vulnerabilities

Criminal records change when charges are filed or dismissed and when records are sealed or expunged. Gaps and delays are unavoidable. Nothing published here is an official statement from the Tensas Parish Sheriff, a court, or any government agency. Under the Louisiana Public Records Law, an official public record still comes from its lawful custodian.

7. Third-Party Services and Links

Links may lead to a sheriff, court, Louisiana agency, legal-aid organization, or outside search provider. Those destinations are beyond our control. We are not responsible for their availability, content, fees, or information practices. Review the destination’s terms before using it.

8. Intellectual Property

Text, graphics, logos, and code belong to Tensas Parish Criminal History or its content partners. Copying, distributing, modifying, or creating derivative material requires prior written permission.

9. Limits on Our Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for damages arising from use of the site, including reliance on information found here or through a linked service.

10. Indemnification

You agree to hold us harmless against a claim, demand, or legal proceeding caused by your use of the website or breach of these terms, including related legal fees and costs.

11. Governing Law

Louisiana law governs these terms. A legal dispute arising from use of the website must be brought in a court located in Louisiana.

12. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms. A revision becomes effective when the new version is posted on this page.

13. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or terminate access to the website at any time, for any reason, without advance notice.

14. Severability

If a court finds one provision invalid or unenforceable, all remaining provisions continue in effect. The affected language will be modified only as much as necessary to make it enforceable.

15. Questions

Questions about these conditions may be submitted through the Contact page.
