Mark Isaac seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for possession of a controlled substance. Sentence was imposed on July 19, 2004. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore August 18, 2004. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). A pro se notice of appeal was filed on September 15, 2004. 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). ⁽¹⁾

The appeal is dismissed.
