Clerk of the Court to give you the Cause Number of your case. You may have to
wait until after the arraignment, but the law states that you should have a
copy of the complaint before arraignment. That does not seem to stop them from proceeding
anyway. If you cannot get it filed 10 days before the arraignment, then it
needs to be filed at least 10 days before the pretrial. If you do not get a
copy of the primary charging instrument, the court should not have subject
matter jurisdiction. This issue can be appealed.
