Ronald Petree v. State ( 2005 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-04-00799-CR
Ronald Petree, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 3010374, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Ronald Petree seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated sexual
assault. Sentence was imposed on November 19, 2001, after Petree pleaded guilty. Petree filed his
pro se notice of appeal three years later, on November 21, 2004. Obviously, the notice of appeal was
not timely filed. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). 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.
