Curtis Anthony Evans, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 51469, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Curtis Anthony Evans seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for burglary of a habitation. Sentence was imposed on June 19, 2003. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore July 21, 2003. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on November 13, 2003. 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.
