Clarence Jones, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 1011315, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for theft from a person. Sentence was imposed on July 20, 2001. The deadline for perfecting appeal was August 20. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on September 10, 2001, and was therefore untimely. 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). Further, the notice of appeal does not comply with Texas Rule of Appellate Procedure 25.2(b)(3). See Whitt v. State, 45 S.W.3d 274, 275 (Tex. App.--Austin 2001, no pet.); see also Cooper v. State, 45 S.W.3d 77, 80-81 (Tex. Crim. App. 2001). Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeal in any manner other than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction.

The appeal is dismissed.
