MEMORANDUM OPINION
We lack jurisdiction to hear these appeals. The trial court sentenced appellant, Donald Robbins, and signed its final judgments on January 20, 2004. Robbins did not file a timely motion for new trial, and therefore the deadline for filing a notice of appeal was February 19, 2004, 30 days after sentencing. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). Robbins filed his notice of appeal on July 9, 2004, more than four months after the deadline. An untimely notice of appeal fails to vest the appellate court with jurisdiction to hear the case. 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). We therefore dismiss the appeals for lack of jurisdiction. It is so ORDERED.
Appellant filed an untimely pro se motion for new trial on July 9, 2004. See TEX. R. APP. P. 21.4.
