Opinion

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN






NO. 03-99-00580-CR


Willie Hights, Appellant


v.



The State of Texas, Appellee








FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF CALDWELL COUNTY, 22ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 95-219, HONORABLE CHARLES R. RAMSAY, JUDGE PRESIDING


PER CURIAM

This is an appeal from an order revoking community supervision. Sentence was imposed on May 17, 1999. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore June 16, 1999. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on June 17, 1999. No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. There is no indication that notice of appeal was properly mailed to the district clerk within the time prescribed by rule 26.2(a). Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b). 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.
