Legal Question in Criminal Law in Texas

My son has an annoucement hearing in Collin County this week, no attorney for a FTA on a criminal mischief charge. He has never been in any trouble before he has been in jail for 30 days and I don't know what to do. I can not afford an attorney. Please advise
