Legal Question in Criminal Law in Tennessee

Transcripts

If a person in declared indigent how would he maintain the transcripts of his trial? Does he have to go through his attorney? Also, if a person's family hires an attorney for him and the attorney fails to do his job properly and the guy wants to fire his attorney, does the court still have to appoint him one for following trials because he is considered indigent?
