PER CURIAM

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">Torrence Ray Evans seeks to appeal from convictions for theft.  Sentence was
imposed in each cause on March 7, 2000.  There were timely motions for new trial.  The deadline
for perfecting appeal was therefore May 8, 2000.  <EM>See </EM>Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2).  The notices
of appeal were filed on May 18.  No extension of time was requested.  <EM>See </EM>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).  <EM>See</EM> 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.  <EM>See Slaton v. State</EM>, 981 S.W.2d 208 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); <EM>Olivo v.
State</EM>, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522-23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).</SPAN></P>
