imprisonment for each conviction , but his sentences were suspended in favor of community supervision for five years . On February 15, 2019, the trial court revoked appellant’s community supervision and imposed the original sentence s . Appellant filed a notice of appeal f rom each conviction in the Eleventh Court of Appeals . The appeals were subsequently transferred to this court by the Suprem e Court of Texas. See T EX . G OV ’ T C ODE A NN . § 73.001 (West 2013). We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction . The timely filing of a written notice of appeal is a jurisdictional prerequisite to hearing an appeal. Castillo v. State , 369 S.W.3d 196, 198 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012). In a criminal case, the notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after sentence is imposed or within ninety days after sentence is imposed if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial . T EX . R. A PP . P. 26.2(a). This deadline can be extended if, within fifteen days of the deadline, appellant files a notice of appeal and a mot ion for extension of time. T EX . R. A PP . P . 26.3. When a notice of appeal but no motion for extension of time is filed within the fifteen - day extension period, an appellate court lacks jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeal in any manner other th an by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction. Olivo v. State , 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). The trial court revoked a ppellant ’s community supervision and sentenced appellant on February 15, 201 9 . Because no motion for new trial was filed, appellant’s notice of appeal was due within thirty days after the sentences were imposed, by March 18, 2019 . See T EX . R. A PP . P. 26.2(a) (1) , 4.1(a) . Appellant file d his notice s of appeal on March 25, 2019, within the fifteen - day extension period , but did not file a motion for extension of time . See T EX . R. A PP . P . 26.3. By letter of March 28 , the Eleventh Court of Appeals notified appellant that his notice s of appeal w ere filed untimely and that the3

appeals c ould be dismissed if he did not file a mot ion for extension of time within the fifteen - day extension period, by April 2 . Appellant did not file a motion for extension or respond to the court’s letter . Because appellant’s untimely filed notice s of appeal prevent this court from acquiring jurisdiction over the appeals, we dismiss the appeal s for want of jurisdiction. Per Curiam Do not publish.
