Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas
My son has an annoucement hearing in Collin County this week, no attorney for a FTA on a criminal mischief charge. He has never been in any trouble before he has been in jail for 30 days and I don't know what to do. I can not afford an attorney. Please advise

I assume this is on a criminal charge as an adult. If your son is an adult and he is indigent, then an attorney will be appointed to represent him. You are not required to hire him a lawyer.
