Re: hiring an attorney
You can hire any attorney as long as they are licensed to practice in the state of the county that indicted you.

Hello there,
You are entitled to hire the attorney of your choice to represent you.
However, the attorney has to be licensed in Texas to practice law.
I practice state wide and have also practiced in other states as well; with their permission of course.
