TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-09-00432-CR

Bill Francis Womack Jr., Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF COMAL COUNTY, 207TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. CR2004-204, HONORABLE JACK H. ROBISON, JUDGE PRESIDING

MEMORANDUM OPINION

Bill Francis Womack, Jr. seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for theft. See Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 31.03 (West Supp. 2008). Sentence was imposed on March 3, 2009. No motion for new trial was filed. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore April 2, 2009. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1), (2). Notice of appeal was filed July 20, 2009, containing an assertion that it was mailed by appellant on July 17, 2009. No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the attempted 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.
