IN THE COURT OF APPEALS

TWELFTH COURT OF APPEALS DISTRICT
TYLER, TEXAS

DATREON KENTARAL JAC KSON, APPELLANT

V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, APPELLEE §

§

§ APPEAL S FROM THE 7TH

JUDICIAL DISTRICT COURT

SMITH COUNTY, TEXAS

MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM These appeals are being dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Datreon Kentaral Jackson
, acting pro se, filed a notice of appeal in trial court cause numbers 007

- 1075

- 18, 007

- 1076

- 18, and
007

- 1077

- 18 . Under the rules of appellate procedure, the notice of appeal must be filed within thirty days after the sentence is imposed or within ninety days after sentence is imposed if the defendant timely files a motion for new trial. See T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 26.2(a). Rule 26.3 provides that a motion to extend the time for filing a notice of appeal must be filed within fifteen days after the
deadline for fi ling the notice of appeal. T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 26.3. Here, in all three cases, s entence was imposed on December 18, 2018 . Appellant filed his notice of appeal on April 26 , 2019, after the time for filing a notice of appeal under Rule 26.2(a) or for seeking a motion to extend under
Rule 26.3. Even assuming Appellant filed a motion for new trial, April 26 still falls outside the extended deadline for filing a notice of appeal and a motion for extension. On April 26 , this Court notified Appellant that the in formation received failed to show the jurisdiction of the Court, i.e., there was no notice of appeal filed within the time allowed by Rule 26.2 and no timely motion for an extension of time to file same as permitted by Rule 26.3 . We informed Appellant that the appeal s would be dismissed unless the information was amended on2 or before May 6 to show this Court’s jurisdiction. That deadline passed without a response from Appellant. “[I]n Texas, appeals by either the State or the defendant in a criminal case are permitted only when they are specifically authorized by statute.” State ex rel. Lykos v. Fine , 330 S.W.3d 904, 915 (Tex. Crim. App. 2011). This Court is not authorized to extend the time for perfecting an appeal except as provided by the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure. 1 See T EX

. R. A PP

. P. 26.2, 26.3; see also Slaton v. State , 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State
, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). In the present case, Appellant’s appeals are untimely. Accordingly , we dismiss Appellant’s appeals for want of jurisdiction
