Effective date: August 11, 2026
These Terms of Use govern your use of the East Texas Locals public website and directory. By using the site, you agree to these terms. They apply to the current Version 1 directory experience and do not create paid membership, subscription, or billing terms.
Informational directory
East Texas Locals publishes directory information to help people discover local businesses. Content is provided for general informational purposes. We do not guarantee that every Business detail, category assignment, hour, address, phone number, or other listing attribute is complete, current, or error-free at all times.
Visitors should independently evaluate businesses before hiring, purchasing from, or relying on them.
Inclusion is not endorsement
Inclusion of a Business in the directory is not, by itself, an endorsement, certification, warranty, or ranking of quality, licensing, insurance, pricing, or suitability for your needs.
Featured visibility
“Featured” placements provide enhanced visibility in directory results for a city and category. Featured status is a visibility designation. It is not a guarantee of superior quality, performance, or outcomes.
Official Partners
“Official Partner” status reflects a relationship designation with East Texas Locals for a category. It is not a guarantee of business performance, pricing, licensing, or customer satisfaction.
