TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
NO. 0984451, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING
This is an appeal from judgments of conviction for engaging in organized criminal activity, aggravated assault, and conspiracy to commit aggravated assault. Sentence was imposed on June 29, 1999. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore July 29, 1999. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on August 9, 1999. (1) No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. There is no indication that notice of appeal was properly mailed to the district clerk within the time prescribed by rule 26.2(a). See Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b). 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.
