MEMORANDUM OPINION

Before Justices Hinojosa, Rodriguez, and Castillo

Memorandum Opinion Per Curiam

Appellant, FRANCISCO JAVIER MEDRANO, attempted to perfect appeals from judgments entered by County Court at Law No. 2 of Cameron County, Texas. Sentence in these cause was imposed on August 11, 2005. No timely motions for new trial were filed. The notices of appeal were due to be filed on September 12, 2005, but were not filed until May 10, 2006. 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Do not publish.

Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
