IN Texas: Determining whether or not you will qualify for our assistance is a two step process. First, you must be financially eligible for services. Second, your case must be one which falls within program priorities established by the board of directors.

Added: Every state is different and there can be no single generalized answer to who qualifies for a Public Defender. However it can be reduced to several generalities; Every state has it's own guidelines, which usually comes down to whether of not you qualify financially. In addition you are entitled to a Public Defender only in criminal cases. There is no free taxpayer funded legal assistance for cases involving civil law.

Should people who cannot pay for legal advice and representation be entitled to have it paid for them by state and why?

Yes, people who cannot afford legal advice and representation should be entitled to state-funded support, as access to justice is a fundamental right. Ensuring that all individuals, regardless of financial status, can obtain legal assistance promotes fairness and equality before the law. Without such support, vulnerable populations may face significant disadvantages in legal matters, leading to unjust outcomes and undermining the integrity of the legal system. Providing state-funded legal aid helps to uphold the principle of justice for all, fostering a more equitable society.
