Opinion
These are appeals from judgments of conviction for failing to display an operator's license upon demand, failing to maintain financial responsibility, and operating an unregistered motor vehicle. Sentence was imposed in these causes on March 31, 1997. No motions for new trial were filed. Notices of appeal were filed on May 12, 1997, twelve days after they were due. Tex. R. App. P. 41(b)(1). No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. Tex. R. App. P. 41(b)(2). There is nothing in the record to indicate that the notices of appeal were properly mailed to the district clerk within the time prescribed by rule 41(b)(1). Tex. R. App. P. 4(b). Without a timely filed notice of appeal, this Court is without jurisdiction. Rodarte v. State, 860 S.W.2d 108 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993); Shute v. State, 744 S.W.2d 96 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988). Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeals in any manner other than by dismissing them for want of jurisdiction. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
The appeals are dismissed.
