Opinion Delivered and Filed April 10, 2003. DO NOT PUBLISH, Tex.R.App.P. 47.2(b).
Appeal from the 28th District Court of Nueces County, Texas.
Before Justices RODRIGUEZ, CASTILLO, and KENNEDY.
Retired Justice Noah Kennedy assigned to this Court by the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of Texas pursuant to Tex. Gov't Code Ann. § 74.003 (Vernon 1998).
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, TONY RODRIGUEZ, attempted to perfect appeals from judgments entered by the 28th District Court of Nueces County, Texas. Sentences in these causes were imposed on January 22, 2003. No timely motions for new trial were filed. The notices of appeal were due to be filed on February 21, 2003, but were not filed until March 4, 2003. Said notices of appeal are untimely filed. Tex. R. App. P. 26.3 provides that the court of appeals may grant an extension of time for filing notice of appeal if such notice is filed within fifteen days of the last day allowed and within the same period a motion is filed in the court of appeals reasonably explaining the need for such extension. Appellant failed to file his notices of appeal and motions requesting an extension of time within such period. The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeals, is of the opinion that the appeals should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeals are hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
