Harris County processes more criminal cases than most U.S. states. The difference between who goes home tonight and who sits in jail waiting for trial often comes down to the bond amount set — not the severity of the charge. This data has always been public. Now it's legible.
Individual case data sourced from the HCDC Public Datasets portal (daily tab-delimited bulk files). Criminal filings and dispositions ingested into Supabase and queried in real time. Court Watch clearance rates from OCA FY2024 Annual Statistical Report. Bond buckets calculated from live filing data.

Bond amounts determine whether someone waits for trial at home or in jail. These are the recent distributions — by charge level, for every case in the record.
