JOSEPH RALPH MASTERSON, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 337th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause Nos. 926959, 927731, and 927732
MEMORANDUM OPINION
We are without jurisdiction to entertain these appeals. Appellant was sentenced in these cases on December 6, 2002. No motion for new trial was filed. The deadline for filing notice of appeal was therefore Monday, January 6, 2003, because the thirtieth day after sentencing fell on a weekend. Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1).
Notice of appeal was deposited in the mail on February 5, 2003, according to the postmark on the copy of the envelope included in the clerk's record. Because the notices of appeal were mailed after the filing deadline, they did not comply with Rule 9.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the "mailbox rule." See Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b).
We also note that these were plea-bargained cases and, according to the trial court's certifications of the right to appeal, appellant has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
The appeals must therefore be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(d).
It is so ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Hedges, Jennings, and Alcala.
Do not publish. Tex. R. App. P. 47.2(b).
