TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-00-00606-CR

Darrell Eugene Hogan, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 27TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 50,545, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for bail jumping. Sentence was imposed on July 25, 2000. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore August 24, 2000. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on September 5, 2000. No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. See 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). See 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, 522-23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).

The appeal is dismissed.
