7A‑450. Indigency; definition; entitlement; determination; change of status. (a) An indigent person is a person who is financially unable to secure legal representation and to provide all other necessary expenses of representation in an action or proceeding enumerated in this Subchapter.
Indigent defense is then typically provided through one or a combination of three methods: a public defender office, an assigned counsel system, or a contract system.
When someone is described as indigent, theyre considered unable to pay the fees required to hire a defense lawyer. If a person requires a defense lawyer but doesnt have the funds to pay for one on their own, one is hired for them. This would be considered an indigent defense, or in other terms, a public defender.
A person is referred to as indigent when they are impoverished, or unable to afford the basic necessities of life. A defendant who is indigent has a constitutional right to court-appointed representation, according to a 1963 Supreme Court decision, Gideon v. Wainwright.
Real-world examples Example 1: A single parent with no job and no savings applies for a waiver of court fees to file for child custody. They are deemed indigent by the court. Example 2: An individual facing criminal charges requests a public defender due to their inability to afford legal representation.
