THE STATE OF TEXAS STATE ---------FROM THE 97TH DISTRICT COURT OF MONTAGUE COUNTY ---------- MEMORANDUM OPINION 1 ---------On May 10, 2010 as part of two plea-bargain agreements, Appellant Wallace Wayne Bowman Jr. pleaded guilty to two charges of capital murder. In accordance with the agreements, the trial court sentenced Appellant to imprisonment for life without parole. The trial court certified in each case that Appellant had no right to appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2). 1 See Tex. R. App. P. 47.4. Approximately three years later in August 2013, Appellant filed two pro se notices of appeal in the trial court and two motions for extension of time to file the notices in this court. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. Appellant filed his notices and motions outside of the mandated time limitations, which divests this court of jurisdiction over his attempted appeals. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a), 26.3; Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Therefore, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction. 2 See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
