Before Chief Justice Seerden and Justices Hinojosa and Chavez

Opinion Per Curiam


	Appellant, ROGELIO RAMIREZ, attempted to perfect appeals from
judgments entered by the 347th District Court of Nueces County, Texas. 
Sentence in these causes was imposed on August 28, 2000.  No timely
motion for new trial was filed.  The notices of appeal were due to be
filed on September 27, 2000, but were not filed until October 4, 2000. 
 Said notices of appeal are untimely filed. 

	Tex. R. App. P. 26.3 provides that the court of appeals may grant
an extension of time for filing notice of appeal if such notice is filed
within  fifteen days of the last day allowed and within the same period
a motion is filed in the court of appeals reasonably explaining the need
for such extension.  Appellant failed to file his notices of appeal and a
motion requesting an extension of time within such period. 

	The Court, having considered the documents on file and
appellant's failure to timely perfect his appeals, is of the opinion that the
appeals should be dismissed for want of jurisdiction.   The appeals are
hereby DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION.
