The opinion
TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-99-00645-CR
Ritchie Lee Brown, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BASTROP COUNTY, 21ST JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 8783, HONORABLE H. R. TOWSLEE, JUDGE PRESIDING
PER CURIAM
Ritchie Lee Brown seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated
sexual assault. Sentence was imposed on May 25, 1999. The deadline for requesting a new trial
or perfecting appeal was therefore June 24, 1999. Tex. R. App. P. 21.4(a), 26.2(a)(1). Appellant
filed his "motion for new trial and notice of appeal" on September 7, 1999. 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, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
The appeal is dismissed.
