Opinion Issued April 17, 2003. DO NOT PUBLISH, Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).
Appeal from the 339th District Court, Harris County, Texas, Trial Court Cause Nos. 859328 and 859327.
Before Chief Justice RADACK, and Justices NUCHIA and HANKS.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We are without jurisdiction to entertain these appeals. Appellant was sentenced in both cases on November 21, 2002. No motion for new trial was filed. The deadline for filing notice of appeal was therefore Monday, December 23, 2002, because the thirtieth day after sentencing fell on a weekend. TEX. R. APP. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal in each case was deposited in the mail on February 4, 2003, according to the postmark on the copy of the envelope included in the clerk's record. Because the notices of appeal were mailed after the filing deadline, they did not comply with Rule 9.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the "mailbox rule." See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.2(b). We therefore dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex.Crim.App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex.Crim.App. 1996). It is so ORDERED.
