Before Chief Justice Seerden and Justices Rodriguez and Kennedy⁽¹⁾

Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, JENNIFER HERRERA, attempted to perfect appeals from judgments entered by the 28th District Court of Nueces County, Texas. Sentence in these causes was imposed on February 18, 2000. No timely motion for new trial was filed. The notices of appeal were due to be filed on March 20, 2000, but were not filed until March 23, 2000. 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 her notices of appeal and motion requesting an extension of time within such period.

The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to timely perfect her appeals, is of the opinion that the appeals should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. The appeals are hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.

PER CURIAM
