3. Consumer Reporting Status

Dallas Residents Directory is not a consumer reporting agency under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq. Nothing here, or returned by a linked search tool, is a consumer report. It may not be used to decide eligibility for credit, employment, housing, insurance, or another FCRA-covered purpose.


4. Links to Outside Sites

Government portals and third-party services, including sponsored-result tools, maintain their own terms and privacy practices. We do not control their content, availability, price, or data handling.

The original text, design, logo, and layout are protected by copyright. You may link to pages and quote short attributed excerpts, but may not republish complete pages or systematically copy the content.


9. Changes to These Terms

We may revise these terms by posting an updated version here. Continued use after a revision means you accept it.


10. Cutting Off Access

We may restrict or block access, without notice, for a user who violates these terms or abuses the service.
