# Get an alert when a name appears in a new federal case

A name alert is an automatic email about a company's name: you register the name and, each time a new docket entry in the courts Juricio reads names that company as a party, Juricio emails you the entry, the case and a link to it. It works going forward, from the day you create it.

Juricio is a private service: it is not affiliated with the U.S. Courts, PACER or any court, and it is not an official site. It reads public court information and links to the official record. It is not legal advice.

## How a name is matched

- Name alerts are for signed-in members: Juricio compares the name with the caption of each new docket entry it reads, in every federal court whose feed Juricio reads (168 district and bankruptcy courts) and the Harris County district courts, County Criminal Courts at Law and Justice Courts it covers.
- A company alert matches when all the words of the name are in one party of the caption that is itself a company, never in a person's name.
- Write the company's name with its legal form, such as LLC, Inc. or Corp., as courts write it: without one, the name counts as a person's name. A name made only of legal forms or a government's name, such as «LLC» or «United States», is refused: it would match countless cases.
- Each email says which of your names matched. A match is literal: it does not verify who the company or the person is.

## Going forward only

An alert watches the entries Juricio reads from the moment you create it. It does not look back: to see the cases that already name a company, [search for it](https://juricio.com/us/search).

## Companies by name, people by initials

Without an account, the search shows companies by name and people by initials. Signed in, you see the caption as the court published it. In lists of Harris County cases, people always appear by initials.

## Alerts on a person's name

Alerts on a natural person's name are for verified attorneys with the purpose they declared when they were verified, never for screening anyone. Attorneys can request verification by writing to [contacto@juricio.com](mailto:contacto@juricio.com?subject=Attorney%20verification).

## Not a background check

Juricio search results, alerts and AI answers are not consumer reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and must not be used to decide on anyone's employment, housing, credit or insurance: those decisions go through a dedicated FCRA-compliant screening service.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act governs consumer reports, such as those of credit bureaus and tenant screening services, and their use for credit, insurance or employment ([Federal Trade Commission](https://www.ftc.gov/legal-library/browse/statutes/fair-credit-reporting-act)).

## Name alerts in each plan

| Plan | Name alerts | Followed cases | Price |
|---|---|---|---|
| Free | None | 5 | $0 |
| Solo | 5 | 20 | $32.99 per month |
| Firm | 15 | 60 | $98.99 per month |
| Scale | 50 | 200 | $330.99 per month |
| Enterprise | Unlimited | Unlimited | Custom |

If an organization goes over a limit, for example when a term ends, the followed cases and name alerts beyond it are paused, not deleted. The oldest stay active.

## What the email contains

- Each new entry, with its date and its text as the court published it.
- The case caption, the court and the case number.
- Which of your names matched.
- A link to the case on Juricio and to your alerts page, where you can remove the alert.
- The note that a name match does not verify identity, and that the email is not a consumer report.

To follow one case instead of a name, see [docket monitoring](https://juricio.com/us/docket-monitoring).

## Questions about name alerts

### Can I set an alert on a person's name?

Only verified attorneys with a declared purpose can, and never to screen anyone. Any signed-in member can set an alert on a company's name.

### Does an alert find cases filed before I created it?

No. It watches the entries Juricio reads from the moment you create it. Search the name to see the cases that already mention it.

### Does a match mean it is the same company or person?

No. A name alert is a literal match with the published name; identity is not verified. Check the case before drawing any conclusion.

### Can I use name alerts to screen a tenant or an employee?

No. Juricio search results, alerts and AI answers are not consumer reports under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) and must not be used to decide on anyone's employment, housing, credit or insurance: those decisions go through a dedicated FCRA-compliant screening service.

### Which courts do name alerts cover?

The 168 federal district and bankruptcy courts whose RSS feed Juricio reads, and the Harris County courts Juricio covers. 18 courts publish no feed, so no alert can come from them.

### How many name alerts can I have?

It depends on the plan: none on Free, 5 on Solo, 15 on Firm, 50 on Scale and unlimited on Enterprise.
