On Appeal from the 282nd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. F07-00645-S, F07-71769-S, F07-71970-S, F07-71990-S MEMORANDUM OPINION Before Justices Lang, Evans, and Whitehill Opinion by Justice Evans
Troy Lee Perkins was convicted on his negotiated guilty pleas of four aggravated robberies and sentenced to twelve years’ imprisonment in each case. The sentences were imposed in open court on January 7, 2008, and appellant did not appeal at that time. The Court now has before it appellant’s October 16, 2015 notice of appeal. The notice does not indicate there is a newly-entered appealable order. Rather, appellant seeks to “appeal [the 2008] convictions, withdraw his guilty plea, reverse the…convictions, [and] remand the cases back to the trial court” for a new trial. [1] We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
*2 “A timely notice of appeal is necessary to invoke appellate jurisdiction.” Blanton v. State , 369 S.W.3d 894, 902 (Tex. Crim. App. 2012). Appellant’s October 16, 2015 notice of appeal is untimely as to the January 7, 2008 sentencing date. See T EX . R. A PP . P. 26.2(a)(1); Slaton , 981 S.W.2d 208, 210 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998) (per curiam); Olivo v. State , 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). Further, this Court has no authority to grant appellant out-of- time appeals, nor do we have jurisdiction to entertain a collateral attack on his final felony convictions. See T EX . C ODE C RIM . P. A NN . arts. 11.05, 11.07 (West 2015); Board of Pardons & Paroles ex rel. Keen v. Court of Appeals for Eighth Dist. , 910 S.W.2d 481, 484 (Tex. Crim. App. 1995) (orig. proceeding).
We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.
