Ritchie Lee Brown seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated sexual assault. Sentence was imposed on May 25, 1999. The deadline for requesting a new trial or perfecting appeal was therefore June 24, 1999. Tex. R. App. P. 21.4(a), 26.2(a)(1). Appellant filed his "motion for new trial and notice of appeal" on September 7, 1999. Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeal in any manner other than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).

The appeal is dismissed.
