NOS. 12-18-00366-CR 12-18-00367-CR IN THE COURT OF APPEALS TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT TYLER, TEXAS LARRY COLEMAN HICKS, § APPEAL FROM THE 7TH APPELLANT V. § JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE § SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM These appeals are being dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Larry Coleman Hicks, acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal regarding trial court cause numbers 007-1262-12 and 007-1263-12. In cause number 007-1262-12, the trial court signed an order of dismissal on May 17, 2013. In cause number 007-1263-12, sentence was imposed on February 11, 2013. Under the rules of appellate procedure, the notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after the sentence is imposed or suspended in open court, or after the day the trial court enters an appealable order; or within ninety days if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a). Rule 26.3 provides that a motion to extend the time for filing a notice of appeal must be filed within fifteen days after the deadline for filing the notice of appeal. TEX. R. APP. P. 26.3. In this case, Appellant filed his notice of appeal on December 31, 2018, long after the time for filing a notice of appeal under Rule 26.2(a) or for seeking a motion to extend under Rule 26.3. On December 31, 2018, this Court notified Appellant that the information received failed to show the jurisdiction of the Court, i.e., there was no notice of appeal filed within the time allowed by the rules of appellate procedure and no timely motion for an extension of time to file the notice of appeal. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2, 26.3. In a separate notice, we informed Appellant that the order being appealed is not a current or new appealable order. Both notices informed Appellant that the appeals would be dismissed unless the information was amended on or before January 10, 2019, to show this Court’s jurisdiction. The deadline passed without a response from Appellant. This Court is not authorized to extend the time for perfecting an appeal except as provided by the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure.1 See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2, 26.3; see also Slaton v. State,981 S.W.2d 208
, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State,918 S.W.2d 519
, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Accordingly, we dismiss Appellant’s appeals for want of jurisdiction.2 See TEX. R. APP. P. 43.2(f). Opinion delivered January 23, 2019.
