Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

Weird case

IF COPS RAID YOUR HOME AND FIND DRUGS & NOT ARREST YOU DUE TO NOT HAVING A WARRANT OR CAUSE. FED EX PACKAGES WERE SENT AND THATS HOW I GUESS THEY FOUND OUT. WELL MY DADS FRIEND IS A LAWYER AND ASKED FOR 5,000 TO DUE MY CASE I HAVE PAID HIM 3,000 SO FAR AND HE SAID HE WOULD TAKE PAYMENTS. I NEVER SIGNED ANY PAPERWORK WITH LAWYER EITHER. HE SAYS I AM CLEAR NOW BUT HE IS STILL WORKING THEM OVER THE PHONE. hE IS ASKING FOR THE REST OF HIS MONEY. MY QUESTION IS. IF MY LAWYER NEVER HAD TO GO TO COURT IS HE STILL INTITLED TO THE REST OF THE MONEY?
