Are you curious if the RETAINED cases are dwindling at the Harris County Criminal Courthouse? Here is the breakdown of retained cases (defendant paying a lawyer out of his own pocket), cases that are appointed (defendant receiving a free lawyer appointed by the judge and paid for by the county), cases that are appointed in the misdemeanor courts through the MAC system (defendant receiving a free lawyer selected by the Managed Assigned Counsel Program and paid for by the county) and cases that are appointed to the defense attorneys who work in the Public Defender’s Office.
