Bob Pemberton, Justice

FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF BELL COUNTY
NOS. 2C84,62611, 2C88-84642 & 2C10-00468
HONORABLE JOHN MICHAEL MISCHTIAN, JUDGE PRESIDINGMEMORANDUM OPINION

In the above causes, appellant Herman Lee Kindred has filed notices of appeal from his 1984, 1989, and 2010 judgments of conviction for the offense of theft. In criminal cases, the notice of appeal must be filed within 30 days after the day sentence is imposed or suspended in open court.¹ Kindred's notices of appeal were filed well beyond the 30-day deadline. Absent a timely filed notice of appeal, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of these appeals in any manner other than by dismissing them for want of jurisdiction.² Accordingly, we dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
