Mark Isaac v. State ( 2004 )

TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-04-00633-CR
Mark Isaac, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 403RD JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 3041211, HONORABLE BRENDA KENNEDY, JUDGE PRESIDING
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Mark Isaac seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for possession of a
controlled substance. Sentence was imposed on July 19, 2004. There was no motion for new trial.
The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore August 18, 2004. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). A
pro se notice of appeal was filed on September 15, 2004. 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).1

We also note that the trial court has certified, and the record confirms, that this is a plea bargain
case and Isaac has no right of appeal. See Tex. R. App. P. 25.2(a)(2).
The appeal is dismissed.
