Kendrick Cordell Jones, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NOS. 51,572 & 52,970, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING

Kendrick Cordell Jones seeks to appeal from judgments of conviction for aggravated assault and burglary of a habitation. Sentence was imposed in both cases on June 14, 2002. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore July 15, 2002. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notices of appeal were filed on August 26, 2002. Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeals in any manner other than by dismissing 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.
