5 Activity (Edited) The Hidalgo County Indigent Public Defender Program is intended to be advocates and ensure proper legal representation for indigent defendants in jail. Main objective will be to focus on those indigent defendants retained in jail that have been detained with a misdemeanor and felony charge resulting from the same arrest. Goals include creating a public defenders office that will help indigent defendants in jail that do not fully understand their right to legal representation. The overall goal of the Hidalgo County Indigent Public Defender Program is to promote fair and impartial legal representation for indigent defendants, by providing a qualified Public Defender during the defendants time of stress or confusion that is sometimes associated with being arrested. The defendant shall receive prompt appointment of counsel. The project will demonstrate an effective Public Defender Program that will serve indigent defendants in jail. A secondary goal is to develop and implement strategies to evaluate the progress of the Public Defender Program. In order to further these goals, the following specific objectives have been formulated: 1. Provide qualified public defenders that are currently licensed and in good standing with the State Bar of Texas, and that exhibit proficiency and commitment to providing quality representation to criminal defendants. 2. Provide qualified public defenders that average 10 hours a year of continuing legal education courses relating to criminal law as recognized by the State Bar of Texas. 3. Public Defender to contact appointed defendant no later than the end of the first working day after the date on which the attorney is appointed and to interview the defendant as soon as practicable after the attorney is appointed. 4. Public Defender to represent appointed defendant until charges are dismissed, the defendant is acquitted, appeals are exhausted, or the public defender is relieved of his duties by the court or replaced by other counsel after a finding of good cause is entered on the record. Upon notice that the county has been awarded the grant, an oversight board will be formed to oversee the public defender s office. The board must consist of the County Judge, a County Commissioner designated by the Commissioners Court, the local administrative statutory county court judge, the local administrative district court judge, and one practicing criminal defense attorney selected by vote on odd numbered years by the officers of the Hidalgo County Bar Association. This board must be responsible for recommending selection and removal of the Chief Public Defender. The administrative role of this board in supervising the Chief Public Defender including any fiscal authority must be decided by the Commissioners Court. The oversight board s first task will be to assist the county in issuing a Request for Qualifications (RFQ). The oversight board will review responses to the RFQ and make a recommendation to the Commissioners Court on the method to best serve the County and defendants. If the Commissioners Court selects a governmental entity then the oversight board will conduct a search for a chief public defender. The search should begin immediately after the Commissioners Court selection of the governmental entity. The oversight board will make a recommendation to the Commissioners Court. The Chief Public Defender will be appointed in the manner consistent with Hidalgo County personnel and appointment processes. Method of removal of Chief Public Defender will be determined by the Commissioners Court. If the county chooses to create a County Public Defender Office: the oversight board along with conducting a search for a chief public defender will search for a rental location to house the office of the public defender. This search should also be completed within a month of receiving the grant. Office space should be large enough to house the staff comfortably, and include a small conference room for staff meetings. Although the location Page 4 of 11 pages

6 ideally should be in the downtown area, it would not be necessary that the public defender s office be housed in the courthouse. The Chief Public Defender will hire the staff in a manner consistent with Hidalgo County personnel policy and procedures. The staff positions, salaries and job descriptions will be consistent with other existing county positions performing similar duties. Staff Training manuals for public defender staff will be created. The purchase of desk top computers, lap top computers, printer, fax, phones and service, and a copy machine will be used to handle the everyday operations of the program. The Indigent Defense Program will hire 1 Chief Public Defender and 5 Public Defenders in accordance with Tx CCP and meet the Hidalgo County Local rules on Indigent Defense guidelines. The Indigent Defense Program will also hire 1 staff secretary and 1 investigator that will assist public defenders. Information Systems There will be a need to ensure that all computer hardware, software, and other electronic communications be in place in order for the project to operate effectively and efficiently. The project will require not only working with the Indigent Defense System Integrator but also to contract out services which can not be produced by the inhouse computer department. This may include purchasing services from the Software Group, the County software provider or any other public defender software provider. Software purchased under this program must be secure and protect attorney/client privileged information. The chief public defender will purchase a commercial off-the-shelf public defender software product to manage the data, provide standard reports, and standard forms for the department. A waiver from this process may be sought if no product meeting the department s needs is available. Attorney Appointment Rotation The Hidalgo County Indigent Public Defender Program will rotate with the current attorney appointment wheel rotation system at a rate determined by vote of the statutory county courts (e.g. every other case, every third case, etc ). In addition to the rotation the public defender will interview all defendants that have refused a court appointed attorney to advise said defendant on his/her right to appointed counsel. Public Defenders will serve the courts of Hidalgo County as follows: 1) on the rotation wheel determined by majority vote of the statutory county court judges; 2) on misdemeanor jail cases (defendants remaining in jail that have not requested a court appointed attorney) and 3) defendants with misdemeanor charges and co-occurring felony charges resulting from the same arrest. The Courts may by majority vote add to the population served by the Public Defender. The court may need to amend their indigent defense plans. A written policy that includes caseload standards for each attorney and for the operation of this program will be developed. In developing caseload standards, nationally recognized standards and standards used by other states shall be taken into consideration. The policy on the caseload standard must require the Chief Public Defender to review the caseload status at least quarterly. Prompt Attorney/Client Visitation The Hidalgo County Indigent Public Defender will contact appointed defendants no later than the end of the first working day after the date on which the attorney is appointed. Public Defender will interview the defendant as soon as practicable after the public defender is appointed. Public Defender will utilize the video teleconferencing to conduct attorney client visits to help meet their interview requirements in a timely manner. Public Defender Monthly Report The Hidalgo County Indigent Public Defender Program will compile a report that counts the number of cases handled by the public defenders office and from those cases, the number of misdemeanor and felony jail cases, Page 5 of 11 pages

7 pleas, trials and dismissals. The report will also count the number of hours worked per case. This report will give the County an idea of how productive and cost effective the program will be.
