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.
