OPINION

A jury convicted appellant, Marcus Demon Lair, of one count of attempted capital murder, seven counts of aggravated robbery, seven counts of aggravated kidnapping, six counts of deadly conduct, one count of burglary of a habitation, and one count of theft. The jury then assessed punishment at confinement for life and a $10,000 fine for the attempted capital murder offense, confinement for life for each aggravated robbery and aggravated kidnapping offense, ten years’ confinement for each deadly conduct offense, 20 years’ confinement for the burglary-of-a-habitation offense, and two years’ confinement for the theft offense. The sentences run concurrently. We dismiss the appeals for want of jurisdiction.

Appellant’s counsel on appeal has filed a brief stating that the appeals are without merit, frivolous, and must be either affirmed or dismissed. See Anders v. California, 386 U.S. 738, 87 S.Ct. 1396 (1967). Specifically, counsel notes that the notices of appeal are untimely. We agree.
