JOHN EDISON LASHER, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee.

No. 10-07-00081-CR, No. 10-07-00082-CR.Court of Appeals of Texas, Tenth District, Waco.
Opinion delivered and filed May 30, 2007.

Appeal from the 278th District Court Leon County, Texas Trial Court Nos. CM-01-192 and CM-01-193.

Before Chief Justice Gray, Justice Vance, and Justice Reyna.

MEMORANDUM OPINION
PER CURIAM.

John Edison Lasher brings these appeals from the trial court’s decision to proceed with an adjudication of his guilt and sentence him to life imprisonment for aggravated sexual assault and ten years’ imprisonment for indecency with a child after Lasher committed numerous violations of his deferred adjudication community supervision. The State has filed a motion to dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction because Lasher’s sentences were imposed in January 2005 but he did not file his notices of appeal until January 2007. Lasher has not filed a response to the State’s motion.

Because Lasher did not file a timely notice of appeal in either case, the State’s motions are granted, and these appeals are dismissed for want of jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208, 210
(Tex.Crim.App. 1998); Fowler v. State, 16 S.W.3d 426, 428 (Tex.App.-Waco 2000, pet. Ref’d).
