TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
NO. 3010374, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING
Ronald Petree seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated sexual assault. Sentence was imposed on November 19, 2001, after Petree pleaded guilty. Petree filed his pro se notice of appeal three years later, on November 21, 2004. Obviously, the notice of appeal was not timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). 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.
