1. His public defender is not useful here. Contact the public defender's office and speak to them about changing attorneys (if your son is an adult, he may have to) citing to ineffective counsel.
2. If that doesn't work, contact the prosecutor and be adamant.
3. If that doesn't work, contact a private defense counsel - unfortunately, you may need to do this -- try www.attorneypages.com and check his or her record at the Texas State Bar.
