V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 228th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause Nos. 899,367 & 899, 368

M E M O R A N D U M O P I N I O N

This is an attempted appeal following appellant=s plea of guilty to two counts of aggravated robbery. Appellant was convicted and sentenced to twenty years= confinement in the Texas Department of Criminal Justice--Institutional Division on July 10, 2002. No notice of appeal was filed. We dismiss for want of jurisdiction.

On November 22, 2002, and December 5, 2002, appellant filed motions for an out-of-time appeal in each case. The Harris County District Clerk mistakenly treated these documents as notices of appeal and assigned the cases to this Court. To perfect an appeal, the defendant must file a timely notice of appeal. Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b). In this case, no notice of appeal was filed. Any relief on appellant=s request for an out-of-time appeal must be sought in the Court of Criminal Appeals.

Accordingly, the appeals are ordered dismissed.
