MEMORANDUM OPINION 1
----------
Appellant Joseph Rauch attempts to appeal two 2017 trial court judgments. Because we have no jurisdiction over these appeals, we dismiss them.
A notice of appeal that complies with the requirements of rule 26 is essential to vest this court with jurisdiction over an appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2. The Texas Court of Criminal Appeals has expressly held that without a timely filed notice of appeal, we cannot exercise jurisdiction over an appeal. Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
Because Appellant filed his pro se notices of appeal too late, we dismiss these appeals for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 43.2(f).
