Delivered and filed September 23, 2004. DO NOT PUBLISH. Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).
On Appeal from County Court at Law No. 1 of Cameron County, Texas.
Before Justices HINOJOSA, YAÑEZ, and GARZA.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, BENJAMIN MACHADO, attempted to perfect an appeals from orders entered by County Court at Law No. 1 of Cameron County, Texas, on October 4, 2000. The notices of appeal were due to be filed on November 3, 2000, but were not filed until January 25, 2001. Said notices of appeal are untimely filed. Tex.R.App.P. 26.3 provides that the court of appeals may grant an extension of time for filing notice of appeal if such notice is filed within fifteen days of the last day allowed and within the same period a motion is filed in the court of appeals reasonably explaining the need for such extension. Appellant failed to file his notices of appeal and motions requesting an extension of time within such period. The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeals, is of the opinion that the appeals should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeals are hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
