Opinion


On March 14, 2005, Jim Bob Meeks filed in this court a pro se motion entitled "Motion for Defendants Rights of an out of time Appeal." In his motion, appellant challenges his 1999 convictions for aggravated sexual assault of a child. Absent a timely notice of appeal, this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain direct appeals. TEX.R.APP.P. 25.2 § 26.2; Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208 (Tex.Cr.App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519 (Tex.Cr.App. 1996); Rodarte v. State, 860 S.W.2d 108 (Tex.Cr.App. 1993); Shute v. State, 744 S.W.2d 96 (Tex.Cr.App. 1988). This court is only authorized to grant timely motions for extension of time to perfect appeals. TEX.R.APP.P. 26.3. Appellant's motion is not a timely motion under Rule 26.3. The appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
