TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-03-00083-CR
Ex parte Celeste Marie Beard
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 390TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 5020394, HONORABLE JULIE H. KOCUREK, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Celeste Marie Beard seeks to appeal from an order in a habeas corpus proceeding
regarding pretrial bail. The order was entered and signed on November 27, 2002. The deadline for
perfecting appeal was therefore December 27, 2002. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was
filed on December 31, 2002. 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.
