MEMORANDUM OPINION
Regina Ruth Bowling pleaded guilty to two indecency with a child offenses. Pursuant to plea agreements, punishment was assessed at ten years' imprisonment in each case. Sentence was imposed in open court on January 23, 2009. No motions were filed; therefore, appellant's notices of appeal were due by Monday, February 23, 2009. See Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1). Appellant filed her notices of appeal on February 26, 2009, three days late, and no extension motions were filed in this Court. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. Because appellant's notices of appeal were untimely, we have no authority to take any action except to dismiss the appeals.See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam); Boyd v. State, 971 S.W.2d 603, 605-06 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1998, no pet.). Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
Additionally, the trial court's rule 25.2(d) certification in cause no. 05-09-00262-CR states appellant waived her right to appeal. See Blanco v. State, 18 S.W.3d 218 (Tex. Crim. App. 2000). The certification is supported by the record. See Dears v. State, 154 S.W.3d 610, 614-15 (Tex. Crim. App. 2005). The waiver likewise leaves us without jurisdiction over the appeal in cause no. 05-09-00262-CR.
