TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 5020394, HONORABLE JULIE H. KOCUREK, JUDGE PRESIDING
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.
