Roy Edward Caples seeks to appeal an order by the district court setting bail pending appeal at $15,000. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 44.04(g) (West Supp. 2000). The order was entered on March 20, 2000. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore April 19, 2000. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on April 25, 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.
