MEMORANDUM OPINION


Chuck Demosthens Horton pleaded guilty to two felon in possession of a firearm offenses, assault involving family violence, with a prior family violence conviction, and possession of cocaine in an amount less than one gram. Pursuant to plea bargain agreements, the trial court assessed punishment at five years' imprisonment in the firearms and cocaine cases and ten years' imprisonment in the assault case. Sentence was imposed on August 18, 2005. No timely motion for new trial was filed; therefore, appellant's notices of appeal were due by Monday, September 19, 2005. See Tex.R.App.P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1). Appellant's October 5, 2005 notices of appeal are untimely, leaving us without jurisdiction over 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.

Appellant's appeal of his conviction for aggravated robbery was previously dismissed. See Horton v. State, No. 05-05-01675-CR (Tex.App.-Dallas Nov. 3, 2005, no pet.) (not designated for publication).
