Public defenders are free for indigent defendants. Inexpensive defense attorneys can be found in the yellow pages.

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.

When should a Judge appoint a Public Defender?

In California, public defenders are assigned by the judge during the defendant's first court appearance, which is called an arraignment. Public defenders are only assigned to defendants who can't afford to hire a lawyer, so the defender has to complete a financial form. If the judge or the public defender determines that the defendant can't afford a lawyer, the judge will assign a public defender at that time. However, it is possible to obtain the services of a public defender before the arraignment. If the defendant is being questioned or put in a lineup, and can't afford a lawyer, the police will arrange for a public defender to be present, or allow the defendant to call the Public Defender's Office. If the defendant has been charged with a crime but is not in custody, he or she can visit the Public Defender's Office at any time. But the public defender assigned by the judge may not be the same person the defendant before arraignment. The first related link is the Los Angeles Public Defender's Office, which has good information about their process (click the FAQ menu item). Other county Public Defender offices may have different procedures. The second related link has links to all Public Defender offices in California.

Can a public defender in Georgia defend people that are not indigent?

No, a Public Defender in Georgia can only defend people who are indigent, and who are charged with an offense punishable by imprisonment. Indigency is defined in Georgia Code section 17-12-2 as a person who earns less than 100 percent of the federal poverty guideline. Georgia Code section 17-12-80 requires verification that the applicant qualifies as indigent. When you apply for the services of a Public Defender, you must fill out a financial form that will be used to verify your indigency. Contact your local office to apply and to ask about their procedure. The first related link is from Cherokee County Indigent Defense (another name for Public Defender) and has a good overview of the procedure and the poverty guidelines. The second related link has links to other Public Defender and Indigent Defense offices, so you can find the one that's closest to you.
