This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for harassment. Sentence was imposed on June 1, 1999. There was a timely motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore June 30, 1999. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). Notice of appeal was filed on July 30, and a motion for extension of time for filing notice of appeal was filed on August 4, 1999. Neither the notice of appeal nor the motion for extension of time was timely. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.

The motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal is overruled. 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.
