IN THE COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT OF TEXAS,

AT AUSTIN





NO. 3-93-106-CR



JAMES ALTON COLEMAN, JR.,

APPELLANT



vs.





THE STATE OF TEXAS,

APPELLEE





FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 0925512, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING





PER CURIAM

James Alton Coleman, Jr., seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated assault. Tex. Penal Code Ann. § 22.02 (West 1989 & Supp. 1993). Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, the court assessed punishment at imprisonment for seven years, probated.

The notice of appeal in this cause was not timely filed. Without a timely filed notice of appeal, this Court is without jurisdiction. Shute v. State, 744 S.W.2d 96 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988). The transcript contains a pro se petition for writ of habeas corpus in which it is alleged that the failure to give timely notice of appeal was the result of ineffective assistance of counsel. There is no indication that the writ was issued by the district court.

The appeal is dismissed.
