The right to counsel is a valuable right; its unwarranted denial is reversible error. (Villegas v. Carter (1986) 711 S.W.2d 624, 626 citing Stefanov v. Ceips (1965) 395 S.W.2d 663, 665.) Therefore, when a trial court allows an attorney to voluntarily withdraw, it must give the party time to secure new counsel and time for the new counsel to investigate the case and prepare for trial. (Lowe v. City of Arlington, (1970) 453 S.W.2d 379, 382.)
Under Tex. R. Civ. P. 10 “[a]n attorney may withdraw from representing a party only upon written motion for good cause shown [but] the Court may impose further conditions upon granting leave to withdraw.” (In re B.G (2009) 317 S.W.3d 250, 254 n.18.)
Before a trial court allows an attorney to withdraw, it should see that the attorney has complied with the Code of Professional Responsibility:
“[A] lawyer should not withdraw from employment until he has taken reasonable steps to avoid foreseeable prejudice to the rights of his client, including:
(Supreme Court of Texas, Rules Governing the State Bar of Texas art. XII, § 8 [Code of Professional Responsibility] DR 2-110(A)(2); Smith v. State (1972) 490 S.W.2d 902, 909-910; Villegas v. Carter (1986) 711 S.W.2d 624, 626.)
“[A] [t]rial counsel's failure to follow through with his representation until relieved of that duty was tantamount to abandoning his client at a critical stage of the proceeding. (In re J.O.A (2009) 283 S.W.3d 336, 343 citing Rogers v. Clinton (1990) 794 S.W.2d 9, 10 n. 1 [stating attorney must satisfy the requirements of Rule 10 of the Texas Rules of Civil Procedure to withdraw.])
“An indigent parent is entitled to appointed counsel in parental rights termination cases, and that statutory right, [courts] have held, ‘embodies the right to effective counsel.’” (In re B.G (2009) 317 S.W.3d 250, 253-54 ) “There are no statutory directives for when or how the appointment is to be made.” (Id.) “Once appointed, an attorney cannot withdraw without good cause and the court's permission, and withdrawal is subject to ethical restrictions.” (Id.) “It is not uncommon for appellate counsel to be substituted for trial counsel, but appellate counsel cannot be appointed until the appellant has been determined to be indigent on appeal.” (Id.)
