If I have an arraignment and never spoke to an attorney or remember my Miranda rights being read, what should I do?

Matthew David Sharp
Answered by attorney Matthew David Sharp
Criminal Law lawyer at The Law Office of Matthew D. Sharp
If you made bond your arraignment date will likely result in your case being reset to hire an attorney. If you want a court appointed lawyer you will need to apply for one when you get to court. The judge will ask you to fill out a financial affidavit and then use that to determine whether you are indigent and thus qualify for court appointed counsel. The judge may call you up to the bench and have the prosecutor read a brief synopsis of the facts of your case in order to determine whether probable cause exists to continue with your prosecution. She will also read you your statutory and constitutional rights at that time. It is important that you make no statement at all during this time. Remember that there will be a prosecutor writing down everything you say in order to use it against you later.

Is a attorney really necessary for a citation for driving with no license and failure to maintain financial responsibly?

Yes. Unless you don't mind getting hit with over $1,000 in surcharges and a possible license suspension.

Will my new license be affected by an old suspended license?

Unfortunately, you are in a grey area. Yes, Texas can and does check, but we are also in a recession so do they really have the time and money. If they check, then they will follow NC.
