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.
