YES! If the Judge feels you do not qualify under the law and have adequate means of paying for one, then you will not get one.

Public defenders earn anywhere from 40,000 to 85,000 per year. It depends on where you are a public defender. Los Angeles is where public defenders salaries are the highest. According to salary information available from the US government, the range depends on state and the agency (state, local or federal). The website to get salary information for California for example is: http://www.bls.gov/oes/current/oes_ca.htm You would have to browse for the specific job title, location, etc. to find what you are looking for.

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.
Complain to the trial judge. Good luck.
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 you go to court and the judge asks you if you are indegent, that is what determins weather or not you get a public defender. The judge may ask if have a job, and you answer yes, then the judge will ask what your cost of living is. This is when you include rent, elec. things that are nessary to live. If you own a house or a car then you will be asked what the value of that item is. You may have to submit proof all of this. Basicly it boils down to the cost of living n our area, how much you make, and how much it cost you to live. If you do own property or a car a public defender can still represent you but you may be asked to pay a low cost fee. ACTUALLY YOU WILL BE AUTOMATICALY APPOINTED A PUBLIC DEFENDER IF YOU DO NOT HAVE THE MONEY TO PAY FOR ONE, PERSONALY I KNOW THAT THEY DO NOT ASK FOR LITERALLY POUNDS OF PROOF.
