MEMORANDUM OPINION


On February 26, 2010, Jeffery Glenn Cooper filed a motion for extension of time to file notices of appeal from trial cause number A-090359-R and from trial cause number A-090362-R. The trial court pronounced its sentences in these cases on December 9, 2009. Cooper sought to appeal more than thirty days after sentencing and outside the time for requesting an extension of time for filing notice of appeal. We notified the parties that the notices of appeal did not appear to have been timely filed. Cooper filed a response that identifies potential error in these two cases but does not establish that he timely filed his notices of appeal. The Court finds that the notices of appeal were not timely filed. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2. The motion for extension of time to file notices of appeal was not filed within fifteen days of the last day for filing notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. It does not appear that appellant obtained out-of-time appeals from the Court of Criminal Appeals. The Court finds it is without jurisdiction to entertain these appeals. Accordingly, we deny the motion for extension of time to file notices of appeal and dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. APPEALS DISMISSED.
