A: There is no central place for him to look for all charges. He will have to contact each county that he thinks he has pending charges. Many counties have websites where this information can be obtained. If the county does not have a website with this info, he can call the county clerk, district clerk, or Sheriff's office for that county.

If he cannot afford an attorney he can request a court-appointed attorney in each of the counties where charges are pending.
