For Harris County arrest records, use Sheriff P2C to locate the event, use the county’s booking/release or arrest-report service for the specific Sheriff record you need, and keep any court disposition separate from those law-enforcement and custody layers.
Harris County publishes more than one Sheriff-facing arrest product
Harris County Sheriff P2C provides public-safety search functions that include arrest and incident information. Harris County’s official online-services directory separately lists jail booking, release reports and arrest reports under Sheriff services. Those tools should be used according to the question: an arrest search identifies an event, a booking or release report addresses custody movement, and an arrest report is the agency document.
The distinction matters because these records change on different timelines. Release from jail does not erase the arrest event, and an arrest report does not establish the final court result. Save the person, date, arresting agency and any report or booking number before moving to another system. Those identifiers are more reliable than trying to reconstruct the event later from a name alone.

Three Harris County facts should remain separate
Arrest event
Shows law-enforcement action
It is not the same as current jail custody.
Release
Shows a custody change
It does not state whether the criminal case ended.
Court result
Comes from the judicial case
Do not infer it from Sheriff arrest or jail data.
Use Harris County identifiers instead of a broad name trail
