Texas - Bonded Out - Now Ask for Court Attorney or Try to Hire Myself? (OPINION ONLY)
A lot of times it's asked that when somebody makes bonds, should and do they qualify for a court-appointed attorney? Or should they try to go out and hire an attorney? The reality, it kind of depends. This is purely my own personal opinion. Smaller cases and things like that, being a DWI or possession of marijuana, it's probably okay to use a court appointed attorney. They're probably just gonna be able to get you the standard deal. But sometimes, they know how localisims occur and sometimes that can help. Generally, if it's a more serious charge, a totally life-altering charge, assault, selling, controlled substances, etc. and it's something you're going to fight, I would probably, if possible, try to hire an attorney. And maybe even an attorney out of county, so they're not subject to the political local pressures. Opinion only.
