More details to this question:
It still shows "pro per". How long does it take to update? Does this mean there is no attorney?

It probably means the clerk's office has not entered the Substitution in the register of actions yet. How long that takes depends on the county. Assuming the judge signed the substitution it's just a matter of time. The attorney being replaced is attorney of record until the substitution is signed or an order allowing withdrawal is signed.

It means that he is the attorney since the other one withdrew.

The substitution should have a name on it. You just can't see the document on line. You should have gotten one, but can also go down to the court house and look at the document.

If he is acting in Pro Per he has no attorney and you can begin immediately.
