MEMORANDUM OPINION


Appellant was convicted of two speeding offenses and the fines imposed were $99. To assist us in determining our jurisdiction over the appeals, we directed appellant to file a letter brief specifying the points of error he would raise on appeal. We have received appellant's letter brief, in which he states he is challenging the trial court's jurisdiction over the cases because charges were not brought in conformity with the Texas Constitution and the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The State responds that appellant did not raise this complaint in accordance with the requirements of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure. The State also contends we do not have jurisdiction over the appeals. We agree with the State. Appellant's complaint does not challenge the constitutionality of the statute under which he was convicted. Accordingly, we conclude we do not have jurisdiction over the appeals. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 4.03 (Vernon Supp. 2003). We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
