Attorney General Says County Must Pay Indigent Defense Bills
Texas Attorney General John Hill states counties cannot withhold payments to attorneys appointed for indigent criminal defense. County commissioners had delayed bills totaling over 18,000 from local lawyers defending indigents, risking funds in a 475,000 budget for court-appointed attorneys. Judge Blair Reeves says the county must reverse its order to comply, while a proposal suggests probation defendants reimburse the county for costs.
