Opinion
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Justice
Paul W. Green, Justice
Sarah B. Duncan, Justice
Delivered and Filed: December 10, 2003
DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
The trial court imposed or suspended sentence in each cause on June 5, 2003. Appellant filed a motion for new trial in each cause on June 25, 2003; therefore, appellant's notices of appeal were due to be filed September 3, 2003. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). Appellant, however, filed his notices of appeal on September 4, 2003. He did not file a motion for extension of time. Because appellant did not timely file his notices of appeal or file a timely motion for extension of time, we lack jurisdiction to entertain these appeals. See Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); see also Ater v. Eighth Court of Appeals, 802 S.W.2d 241, 243 (Tex. Crim. App. 1991) (explaining that the writ of habeas corpus pursuant to article 11.07 of the Texas Code of Criminal Procedure governs out-of-time appeals from felony convictions). Accordingly, we dismiss appellant's appeals for lack of jurisdiction.
