NO. 03-99-00791-CR


Raynaldo Rivas, Appellant

v.



The State of Texas, Appellee






FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 4 OF TRAVIS COUNTY

NO. 520788, HONORABLE MIKE DENTON, JUDGE PRESIDING


PER CURIAM

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for assault. Sentence was suspended on October 11, 1999. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore November 10, 1999. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on November 18, 1999, but no extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. 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.
