TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-02-00513-CR
Chad Chapman, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF RUNNELS COUNTY, 119TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 4484, HONORABLE BEN WOODWARD, JUDGE PRESIDING
Chad Chapman seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated sexual
assault. Sentence was imposed on May 17, 2002. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for
perfecting appeal was therefore June 17, 2002. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on
August 8, 2002. 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.
