MEMORANDUM OPINION
Bryan P. Suhre seeks to appeal an order denying his request for post-conviction DNA
testing. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 64.03, .05 (West Supp. 2003). The order was entered and
signed on November 20, 2002. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore December 20, 2002.
Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on January 2, 2003. 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.
