Fourth Court of Appeals
San Antonio, Texas
April 27, 2020
No. 04-20-00068-CR
James Deangelo JOHNSON,
Appellant
v.
The STATE of Texas,
Appellee
From the 187th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2018CR12139A
Honorable Stephanie R. Boyd, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Appellant’s court-appointed counsel filed a motion to dismiss signed by counsel but not
by Appellant. We denied the motion for lack of Appellant’s signature. On April 27, 2020,
counsel filed a “Motion to Extend Filing Deadlines.” The record is presently due on May 14,
2020; counsel requested an extension until June 20, 2020.
Counsel’s motion is GRANTED. The clerk’s and reporter’s records are due on June 20,
2020.
We caution counsel that any motion to dismiss this appeal must be signed by Appellant
and counsel. See TEX. R. APP. P. 42.2 (requiring the appellant’s signature to authorize a
voluntary motion to dismiss); Conners v. State, 966 S.W.2d 108, 110 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st
Dist.] 1998, pet. ref’d) (“The appellant and his or her attorney must sign the written motion to
dismiss . . . .”).
