TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-01-00252-CR

Charmion Rochelle Gill, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 51,416, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated assault. Sentence was imposed on January 25, 2001. There was a timely motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore April 25. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). Notice of appeal was filed on May 3, 2001. 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- (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).

The appeal is dismissed.
