TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-02-00281-CR
Roy Edward Munoz, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 2 OF TOM GREEN COUNTY
NO. 01-02826L2, HONORABLE PENNY ANNE ROBERTS, JUDGE PRESIDING
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for assault. Sentence was imposed on
January 23, 2002. There was a timely motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was
therefore April 23, 2002. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). Notice of appeal was filed on April 24. No
extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. 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).
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.
