TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-01-00440-CR
Robert James Cuzze, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF HAYS COUNTY, 22ND JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. CR-00-519, HONORABLE CHARLES R. RAMSAY, JUDGE PRESIDING
PER CURIAM
This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated assault. Sentence was
imposed on April 10, 2001. There was a timely motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting
appeal was therefore July 9, 2001. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). Notice of appeal was filed on
July 19, 2001. 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.
