TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-02-00614-CR

Ronnie Lee Graves, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF SAN SABA COUNTY, 33RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 5198, HONORABLE GUILFORD L. JONES, III, JUDGE PRESIDING

Ronnie Lee Graves seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated sexual assault. Sentence was imposed on May 3, 2002. The deadline for filing a motion for new trial was therefore June 3, 2002. Tex. R. App. P. 21.4(a). The motion for new trial was filed June 20, 2002.

Because the motion for new trial was not timely, the notice of appeal filed July 12, 2002, also was not timely. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a). Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeal in any manner other than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction. 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.
