Kent Anthony Krueger seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for retaliation. Sentence was imposed on April 24, 2001. Notice of appeal was filed on January 2, 2003, long after the time for perfecting appeal had expired. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a). 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.
