                                       Dallas County, Texas

                                             MEMORANDUM OPINION
                                      Before Justices Francis, Lang-Miers, and Lewis
                                              Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
            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 January 27, 2014 third out-of-time notice of appeal for these cases. 1

In his third “general notice of appeal,” appellant seeks to withdraw his guilty pleas and

permission to appeal.

     1
         This Court has twice before dismissed appeals involving these same trial court numbers for want of jurisdiction. See Perkins v. State, Nos.
05-13-01119–01122-CR (Tex. App.-–Dallas Sept. 11, 2013, pet. ref’d); See 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 January 27, 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, the 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.
