COMES NOW, VINCENT DEWAYNE JOHNSON, Appellant herein, and 

moves this court to issue an extension of time to file Appellant’s Brief, and support 

thereof would show the court as follows:

I.

The brief is due on June 14, 2015. Attorney for the Appellant requests an 

additional 30 days, until July 14, 2015, to file the brief.

II.

The numbers and style of the case in the District Court is F1360209, F1360595 

and F1360931, State of Texas v. Vincent Dewayne Johnson.

III.

In cause numbers F1360209, F1360595 and F1360931, Appellant was 

convicted of aggravated sexual assault of a child under 14. The Appellant plead 

guilty to all charges and was sentenced before the judge to 20 years in the Texas 

Department of Criminal Justice in each case. 

IV.

The reason for this request is that during the last few weeks counsel has been 

preparing an amended petition for writ of habeas corpus in Faryion Edward Wardrip

v. William Stephens, case no. 7:01-CV-0247-G in the United States District Court 

for the Northern District of Texas, preparing an Appellant’s Brief on Direct Appeal 

in Russell Donald Tindell, II v. The State of Texas, case no. 10-15-00016-CR in the
3

Tenth Court of Appeals of Texas, and also preparing an Appellant’s Supplemental 

Brief in Tommy Vincent Jetton v. State of Texas, case no. 11-14-00264-CR in the 

Eleventh Court of Appeals.

V.

For the reasons set out above, counsel for Vincent Johnson will, in reasonable 

likelihood, be unable to submit the brief requested by this court. Counsel is asking 

for an extension of time of 30 days, or until approximately July 14, 2015, to file the 

brief.

WHEREFORE, PREMISES CONSIDERED, Appellant requests this court to 

grant an extension of time to file his Appellant’s Brief until July 14, 2015.

RESPECTFULLY SUBMITTED,
