MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Yañez, Garza, and Benavides
Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam
Appellant, ALEJANDRO MARTINEZ, attempted to perfect appeals from judgments entered by the 332nd District Court of Hidalgo County, Texas in trial court cause numbers CR-3210-05-F and CR-4308-06-F. Sentence in these causes was imposed on May 19, 2006 and December 19, 2006. No timely motion for new trial was filed. The notice of appeal in trial court number CR-3210-05-F was due to be filed on June 19, 2006, but was not filed until March 12, 2007. The notice of appeal in trial court number CR-4308-06-F was due to be filed on January 18, 2007, but was not filed until March 12, 2007. 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 his notices of appeal and a motion requesting an extension of time within such period.
The Court, having considered the documents on file and appellant's failure to timely perfect his 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
Do not publish.
