Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

I was arrested because of a stealing some clothes at a store. I was let out by paying a fee. They (Grapevine/Tarrant County) said i had to go to court, but i was not given a date in which to assist. The court is going to assign me to an attorney, but how is it that the lawyer and me are going to communicate? And whether the lawyer is trustworthy or not. And i do not have any more charges against me. And as far as i know this is considered a misdemeanor.

By what process did the court tell you that you would be assigned an attorney? Because you asked for a court-appointed lawyer, or because you are a juvenile. The solution to your concerns is to hire a lawyer of your choosing to represent you.

I don't know what you mean by 'let out by paying a fee'. Did you post a bond?

You need to contact the clerk of the court, and ask the name and number of your lawyer, and ask if there is a court date set.
