Legal Question in Family Law in Texas

I am due in court on Friday, I dismissed the attorney I had, but he has not removed himself from the case saying the next attorney I hire can do that? I have yet to find another. If I appear without representation will the judge allow me an extension to find one?

If your current attorney has not withdrawn, he'd better be in Court when you have a hearing; otherwise, he'll get in trouble with the Judge. Until he withdraws, he is your attorney of record, and he has to appear in Court. When you go to Court, BRING THE LAWYER'S PHONE NUMBER WITH YOU and when your case is called, tell the Judge that you're waiting on your lawyer, and offer to give his phone number to the Judge.
