” Ex parte Brannon, 547 So.2d 68 (Ala.1989) (wherein Brannon claimed that he had been improperly sentenced under the Alabama Habitual Felony Offender Act). “ ‘ “Matters concerning unauthorized sentences are jurisdictional,” Hunt v. State, 659 So.2d 998, 999 (Ala.Crim.App.1994); therefore, we may take notice of an illegal sentence at any time. See, e.g., Pender v. State, 740 So.2d 482 (Ala.Crim.App.1999).’ ” Trawick v. State, 883 So.2d 1273, 1275 (Ala.Crim.App.2003). We reviewed the record of Jones's direct appeal, see Hull v. State, 607 So.2d 369, 371 (Ala.Crim.App.1992) (this Court may take judicial notice of its own records), and have determined that Jones is correct.
Because the appellant's aggregate sentence was twenty years in prison, the trial court did not have jurisdiction to split his sentence. See Trawick v. State, 883 So.2d 1273 (Ala.Crim.App. 2003); Calloway, supra. "`Matters concerning unauthorized sentences are jurisdictional,' Hunt v. State, 659 So.2d 998, 999 (Ala.Crim.App. 1994); therefore, we may take notice of an illegal sentence at any time. See, e.g., Pender v. State, 740 So.2d 482 (Ala.Crim.App. 1999)."
