                                       Dallas County, Texas

                                            MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                           Before Justices Lang, Myers, and Brown
                                                  Opinion by Justice Brown
            Troy Lee Perkins pleaded guilty to four aggravated robbery offenses. Pursuant to plea

agreements, he was sentenced to twelve years’ imprisonment in each case.                                                     Sentence was

imposed in open court on January 7, 2008, and appellant did not appeal at that time. The Court

now has before it appellant’s April 14, 2014 fourth motion seeking out-of-time appeals of his

convictions. 1 In this fourth notice of appeal, appellant again seeks to withdraw his guilty pleas.

     1
         This Court has previously dismissed for want of jurisdiction appeals involving these same trial court numbers. See Perkins v. State, Nos.
05-14-00091–00094-CR (Tex. App.–Dallas Feb. 3, 2014, pet. ref’d); Perkins v. State, Nos. 05-13-01119–01122-CR (Tex. App.–Dallas Sept.
11, 2013, pet. ref’d); Perkins v. State, No. 05-12-01511-CR (Tex. App.–Dallas Dec. 13, 2012, no pet.); Perkins v. State, Nos. 05-12-01512–
01514-CR (Tex. App.–Dallas Nov. 28, 2012, no pet.).
       Appellant’s April 14, 2014 notice of appeal is untimely as to his January 7, 2008

sentences in these cases. See TEX. R. APP. P. 26.2(a)(1); Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210

(Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam). Moreover, this Court has received nothing from the Texas

Court of Criminal Appeals stating appellant has been granted out-of-time appeals, and this Court

has no authority to grant appellant out-of-time appeals.

       We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
