HOUSTON — Tim Johnson has been named acting U.S. attorney for the Houston-based Southern District of Texas, taking over for Don DeGabrielle, who resigned as of last week.
Johnson, who was DeGabrielle’s first assistant, is a graduate of the South Texas College of Law in Houston and a former Internal Revenue Service special agent.
He was an assistant U.S. attorney for about four years in the 1980s before practicing at a law firm and as a solo litigator and criminal defense attorney for 17 years. He returned to the U.S. Attorney’s Office in spring 2006 to serve as DeGabrielle’s second-in-command.
