MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Wright, Lang-Miers, and Mazzant
        James Talton Griffin was convicted of two sexual assault offenses. Punishment was assessed in each case at eight years' imprisonment and a $2500 fine, and sentence was imposed on February 27, 2004. On August 4, 2008, appellant filed out-of-time notices of appeal and on August 25, 2008, appellant filed motions to extend time to file his notices of appeal.   See Footnote 1  On October 15, 2008, the State filed a motion to dismiss the appeal in cause no. 05-08-01027-CR.
        Because no timely motions for new trial were filed, appellant's notices of appeal were due by Monday, March 29, 2004.  See Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1). Appellant's August 4, 2008 notices of appeal and his August 25, 2008 motions to extend time to file the notices of appeal are untimely, leaving us without jurisdiction over the appeals. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam); Boyd v. State, 971 S.W.2d 603, 605-06 (Tex. App.-Dallas 1998, no pet.).
        We deny the extension motions, grant the State's motion to dismiss in cause no. 05-08- 01027-CR, and dismiss both appeals for want of jurisdiction.
