TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-02-00513-CR

Chad Chapman, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF RUNNELS COUNTY, 119TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 4484, HONORABLE BEN WOODWARD, JUDGE PRESIDING

Chad Chapman seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated sexual assault. Sentence was imposed on May 17, 2002. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore June 17, 2002. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on August 8, 2002. 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.
