Who may represent me in court?
Only an attorney who is currently licensed by the Texas State Bar may represent you in court.

If you have chosen a bench or jury trial, you may represent yourself as a Pro Se defendant. However, you will be expected to follow all general rules of trial proceedings. Also, if a juvenile has requested a bench or jury trial, a parent cannot act as their attorney. They will be required to either retain a state-licensed attorney or represent themselves.
