1st Requirement: The Judge is required to tell you that you have a right to a Court Appointed Attorney ( EVEN IF YOU MADE BOND ) if you cannot afford one. (Reference)

2nd Requirement: After the Judge either gives you a Paupers Affidavit and a Application For Court Appointed Attorney or tells you where to get them, he will then tell you when to bring them back to him or her ( Only ). Be sure to be truthful on every answer and do everything the application requires.

Here are the factors the court is required to abide by when giving you a Court Appointed Attorney. (Reference)

If you make bond it only kicks in filling out the applications above and just because you, your family or friends helped get you out of jail they are NOT required to help you get an Attorney. This is decided by weighing all the factors in the above link and be sure to print out the case below because it clearly shows that just because you make bond they cannot deny you a Court Appointed Attorney or send you back to jail.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

"THE COURT SHALL ORDER YOU TO PAY THE COST OF YOUR LEGAL REPRESENTATION IN TOTAL OR INSTALLMENTS. THE COURT SHALL SET THE AMOUNT AND DUE DATE OF EACH INSTALLMENT PAYMENT. THE COST SHALL BE PAID TO THE COURT CLERK IN YOUR COUNTY. THE COST SHALL BE A DEBT AGAINST YOU UNTIL PAID AND SHALL SUBJECT YOU TO COLLECTION PROCEDURES AS PROVIDED BY LAW. THE COST SHALL BE DEDUCTED FROM ANY STATE INCOME TAX REFUND FOR YOU UNTIL THE COST ARE PAID".

This is totally false and if you have been found Indigent and are given a Court Appointed Attorney then there are many procedures that the Court must go though before they can do this. It is not automatic but if you hit the 5 million dollar lottery right after Rogers County gave you a Court Appointed Attorney, then you might be brought back in for a Hearing on your financial status and be required to pay.
