Quentin Charles Hayes seeks to appeal judgments of conviction for aggravated robbery. In both cases, sentence was imposed on August 16, 2007. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting the appeals was therefore September 17, 2007. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1); see also Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a). Notices of appeal were filed on September 25, 2007. No extension of time for filing was requested. Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. There is no indication that the notices of appeal were properly mailed to the district clerk within the time prescribed by rule 26.2(a). Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b). Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeals in any manner other than by dismissing them 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.
