Federal Public Defender
The Office of the Federal Public Defender for the Southern District of Texas provides defense services in federal criminal cases to individuals who cannot afford adequate legal representation, as established under the Criminal Justice Act of 1964. With its headquarters in Houston and branches in Brownsville, Corpus Christi, Laredo, and McAllen, the organization supports both CJA panel attorneys and federal defendants throughout the district.
Their mission is to ensure fair legal representation while adhering to the ethical standards that prohibit their attorneys from engaging in private practice. The office also offers resources and publications aimed at aiding legal professionals and educating those interested in the criminal justice process within the district. Generated from the website
