Albert Cubit seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for family violence assault. Sentence was imposed on April 8, 2005. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore May 9, 2005. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on June 9, 2005. 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.
