TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-06-00796-CR

John Domingo Perez, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 2042564, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

John Domingo Perez seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated assault. Sentence was imposed on August 14, 2006. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore September 13, 2006. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). The pro se notice of appeal was filed on December 21, 2006. 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.
