On April 2, 2003, the State of Texas filed motions to dismiss for lack of jurisdiction the appeals of Michael Raymond Minton. On April 2, 2003, Minton filed motions to abate the appeals and to remand the appeals to the trial court for further proceedings. The appellant did not amend his notices of appeal to comply with the requirements of Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(b)(3). The trial court denied the appellant's request for permission to appeal.

The Court finds that the notices of appeal filed by the appellant did not invoke this Court's appellate jurisdiction. See White v. State, 61 S.W.3d 424, 428-29 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). Accordingly, the appellant's motions to abate are DENIED, the State's motions to dismiss are GRANTED and the appeals are dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.

APPEALS DISMISSED.
