Ervin Sorrells seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated sexual assault. Sentence was imposed on July 23, 2002. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore August 22, 2002. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). A pro se notice of appeal was filed on September 5, 2002. No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. 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.
