TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-02-00411-CR

Pamela Hutchins, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 3020524, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING

Sentence was imposed in this cause on May 17, 2002. There was no motion for new trial.

The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore June 17. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on June 18. No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. 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). 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.
