v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NOS. 51,572 & 52,970, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING
Kendrick Cordell Jones seeks to appeal from judgments of conviction for aggravated
assault and burglary of a habitation. Sentence was imposed in both cases on June 14, 2002. There was no
motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore July 15, 2002. Tex. R. App. P.
26.2(a)(1). Notices of appeal were filed on August 26, 2002. Under the circumstances, we lack
jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeals in any manner other than by dismissing for want of
jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208 (Tex. Crim. App.1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d
519, 522-23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
The appeals are dismissed.
