A Harris County felony case file for a Pasadena case holds the documents generated throughout the court process. The level of detail depends on how the case progressed and whether any records were later restricted.

• Grand jury indictment or criminal information
• Arrest warrant and supporting affidavit
• Pre-trial motions from both sides
