Jackson County, Texas. Sentences in these causes were imposed on May 29, 2003 . Untimely motions for new trial
were filed on October 3, 2003. The notices of appeal were due to be filed on June 30, 2003 , but were not filed until
September 18, 2003 . Said notices of appeal are untimely filed. Appellant filed untimely motions to extend time to file
motion for new trial and notice of appeal on October 3, 2003 .
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, appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeals, and appellant's
untimely motions, is of the opinion that the appeals should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant's untimely
motions to extend time to file motion for new trial and notice of appeal are dismissed. The appeals are hereby
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
