What are grounds for dismissing a public defender and how do you go about doing it?
Wesdexrob
A defendant is not obligated to take the services of the public defender. If a defendant wishes to hire private counsel, he has that right, or if he wishes to defend himself, he has that right. If the defendant wishes to defend himself, the judge will inquire as to if the decision is knowing and voluntary, and if so, will allow the defendant to do so. It is a very important decision, and not one to be made lightly.

Can you change your public defender if you don't think he is doing a good job in Tx?
In Texas - or any other state - you can't change your public defender if you don't think he is doing a good job. Only the judge can change your public defender, so you would have to convince the judge that the public defender is not doing a good job. See the first related link below for an example of this from the Dallas County Public Defender's Office (scroll down to the question "Can I fire my Assistant Public Defender?"). I found this at the second related link, which has links to Public Defender offices in several counties; you can call those offices and ask about their local procedures.
