Edward Lewis seeks to appeal from a conviction for aggravated robbery. Sentence was imposed on July 16, 1998. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore July 17, 1998. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). On July 2, 1999, Lewis filed in this Court a motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal. The motion states that notice of appeal was filed on July 1, 1999. Both the notice of appeal and motion for extension of time are untimely. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. 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 untimely motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal is overruled. The appeal is dismissed.
