These terms apply to use of Belton Residents Directory. By using the service, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, do not use it.

1. What This Website Is

Belton Residents Directory is privately operated. It describes and links to public rolls, record indexes, and historical collections relevant to Belton, Bell County, and Texas. It does not host government records and is not affiliated with a custodian, court, or public office.


2. Rules for Using This Site

Use this service only for lawful purposes. You may not use it, or material reached through it, to:

  • Stalk, harass, intimidate, threaten, or harm any person

  • Commit identity theft or fraud
  • Make FCRA-regulated decisions, including credit, employment, tenant, or insurance decisions
  • Scrape, copy, or republish the site's content at scale
  • Interfere with the site's operation or security

3. We Are Not a Consumer Reporting Agency

This service is not a consumer reporting agency as defined by the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Neither the material here nor a result from a linked tool is a consumer report. None may be used to determine eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Government portals, archives, and third-party services, including sponsored search tools, operate under their own policies. We do not control their content, availability, fees, or data practices.


5. No Warranties

The service is provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties. We do not promise that its information is accurate, complete, or current, or that an outside portal will remain available or return a correct result.


6. Limits on Our Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, or special damages arising from use of this service or a linked resource, including decisions made from a record reached through it.

The original words, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. Linking to a page and quoting brief attributed excerpts is permitted; republication of whole pages or systematic copying is not.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms by posting a new version here. Continued use after a change means acceptance.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may block or restrict any user who violates these terms or abuses the site, at our discretion and without notice.


11. Governing Law

Texas law governs these terms, without regard to conflict-of-law principles. The Texas Public Information Act, Texas Government Code Chapter 552, is the state framework for requests to covered public bodies, while record-specific confidentiality laws can still control access.


12. Severability

If any part of these terms proves unenforceable, the rest stays in force.
