What is the procedure in Harris County, Houston TX to fire my attorney while the case is still in litigation and hire a new one?

Simply put, you tell your current attorney that you are firing him. He will then prepare a motion to withdraw.

One note of caution: if your company is a defendant, it cannot represent itself pro se. It must hire another attorney.

If your attorney is being provided to yu by your insurance company, you need to go back t o the insurer to coordinate the change. Firing your attorney without telling the insurer can lead to problems getting the fees paid and, perhaps, any damage/settlement payment.

Both Ms. Trevino and Mr. Strother. Assuming that you are not being defended by an insurance company, I would recommend that you line up another attorney before firing your current attorney. As Mr. Strother noted, a company cannot represent itself, and it is not advisable to be in litigation without counsel. Because you do not know how long it will take you to find a new attorney that you feel comfortable with, you should begin that process immediately.
