Fourth Court of Appeals San Antonio, Texas MEMORANDUM OPINION No. 04-17-00474-CR No. 04-17-00475-CR Michael Dean RACHALL, Appellant v. The STATE of Texas, Appellee From the 399th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court Nos. 2016CR6452 and 2016CR6453 Honorable Sarah Garrahan-Moulder, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Sandee Bryan Marion, Chief Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Irene Rios, Justice Delivered and Filed: September 20, 2017 DISMISSED The trial court imposed sentence in Cause Nos. 2016CR6452 and 2016CR6453 on June 13, 2017. Because appellant did not file motions for new trial, the notice of appeal in each cause was due to be filed on July 13, 2017. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1). A motion for extension of time to file the notices of appeal was due on July 28, 2017. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. Appellant did not file his notices of appeal until July 24, 2017, and appellant did not file motions for extension of time. Because appellant did not timely file notices of appeal, it appeared that we lack jurisdiction over these appeals. 04-17-00474-CR & 04-17-00475-CR We, therefore, ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant’s court-appointed attorney responded, stating that timely notices of appeal were not filed and further informing this court, consistent with the documents contained in the clerk’s record, that these were plea bargain cases in which appellant does not have the right to appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
