PER CURIAM

Patricia O. Alvarez, Justice
Luz Elena D. Chapa, Justice
Delivered and Filed: March 13, 2013
DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION
Appellant Jacinto Solis Jr. was sentenced on July 10, 2012. Because he did not file a
motion for new trial, Appellant’s notices of appeal were due to be filed no later than August 9,
2012. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a). Our records show (1) the notices of appeal were not filed
until January 15, 2013, and (2) no motions for extension of time were timely filed. See id.
R. 26.3.

The Honorable Ray Olivarri is now the presiding judge in the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas.
04-13-00054-CR & 04-13-00055-CR
On February 11, 2013, we ordered Appellant to show cause in writing by February 26,
2013, why his appeals should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. 2 To date, this court has
not received any response to our order.
This court lacks jurisdiction over an appeal of a criminal conviction in the absence of a
timely, written notice of appeal. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996)
(“A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke a court of appeals’ jurisdiction.”); Shute v.
State, 744 S.W.2d 96, 97 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988). Accordingly, these appeals are dismissed for
want of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
DO NOT PUBLISH

The trial court’s certifications in these appeals state that “this criminal case is a plea-bargain case, and the
defendant has NO right of appeal.” We must dismiss an appeal “if a certification that shows the defendant has a
right of appeal has not been made part of the record.” See TEX. R. APP. P. 25.2(d).
