                                                                            Opinion

    Rolando Margarito Menaruiz

    Appellant

    Vs.                   No. 11-03-00064-CR B Appeal from Dallas County

    State of Texas

    Appellee

     

    This is an appeal from a judgment adjudicating guilt.  Appellant originally entered a plea of guilty to the offense of aggravated kidnapping.  Pursuant to the plea bargain agreement, the trial court deferred the adjudication of guilt, placed appellant on community supervision for 5 years, and assessed a $300 fine.  After a hearing on the State=s motion to adjudicate, the trial court found that appellant had violated the terms and conditions of his community supervision by committing a subsequent offense of kidnapping, adjudicated his guilt, and imposed a sentence of confinement for 60 years.  We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.

    The trial court imposed the sentence on October 4, 2002.  Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal on December 26, 2002, 83 days after the date sentence was imposed.  A motion for new trial was not filed.  Appellant has failed to timely perfected an appeal.  TEX.R.APP.P. 26.2 & 26.3.   Absent a timely notice of appeal, this court lacks jurisdiction to entertain an appeal.  Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208 (Tex.Cr.App.1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519 (Tex.Cr.App.1996); Rodarte v. State, 860 S.W.2d 108 (Tex.Cr.App.1993); Shute v. State, 744 S.W.2d 96 (Tex.Cr.App.1988).

    The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
