                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
        The trial court convicted Marvin Ray Haile of two offenses of aggravated assault and assessed
his punishment at confinement for ten years for each offense. We dismiss the appeals for want of
jurisdiction.
        The trial court imposed the sentences in open court on December 11, 2008. Appellant filed his
pro se notices of appeal on July 14, 2009, 215 days after the date the sentences were imposed. The
notices of appeal are not timely. TEX . R. APP . P. 26.2. Motions for extension of time were not filed in
compliance with TEX . R. APP . P. 26.3. Absent a timely notice of appeal or compliance with Rule 26.3,
this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an appeal. Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 209 -10 (Tex. Crim.
App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522-24 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996); Rodarte v. State, 860
S.W.2d 108,109-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993); Shute v. State, 744 S.W.2d 96, 97 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988).
       The appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
