TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-01-00068-CR
Frank D. Crowley, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 50,399, HONORABLE MARTHA J. TRUDO, JUDGE PRESIDING
PER CURIAM
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for driving while intoxicated.
Sentence was imposed on October 24, 2000. There was a timely motion for new trial. The
deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore January 22, 2001. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2).
Notice of appeal was filed on January 26. No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was
requested. See 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). See 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.
