Oh. I suspect you are right.
From the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure, Chapter 26, Arraignment:
"An attorney appointed ... shall make every reasonable effort to contact the defendant not later than the end of the first working day after the date on which the attorney is appointed and to interview the defendant as soon as practicable after the attorney is appointed."

There could be more than one public defender who is appointed for any one defendant so the attorney a defendant speaks to first may not be the attorney who represents the defendant in court.
