Williamson County Office of Indigent Defense, TX

The Williamson County Office of Indigent Defense is located in Georgetown, Texas. Under Texas law, a person charged with a misdemeanor punishable by jail time or any felony may be eligible for a court-appointed attorney – an attorney is not automatically appointed. According to the Williamson County Indigent Defense Plan, a person must complete a sworn application for a court-appointed attorney. They may be eligible if they meet certain financial requirements. If you cannot afford an attorney and need to request a court-appointed attorney, please complete their Indigent Defense Request Form available on their website. An individual must apply for a public defender by completing a detailed financial statement and agreeing to provide documentation concerning income, assets and debts for the person and the person’s spouse if any. This information is generally provided to a court employee who reviews the financial information and recommends to the judge whether or not the person is eligible for government-paid counsel.
