TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN
NO. 03-00-00330-CR
Jose Olalde, Appellant
v.
The State of Texas, Appellee
FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
NO. 0984574, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING PER CURIAM
Jose Olalde seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for murder. Sentence was imposed on June 15, 1999. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore July 15, 1999. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on May 4, 2000, long after the deadline. Further, the clerk's record contains a written waiver of appeal signed by appellant, his attorney, and the trial judge. This document, which reflects a knowing and voluntary waiver of the right to appeal, was signed on the day sentence was imposed in open court. A defendant who knowingly and intelligently waives his right to appeal may not thereafter appeal without the consent of the trial court. Ex parte Dickey,
(Tex. Crim. App. 1976); see also Hurd v. State,548 S.W.2d 388
(Tex. Crim. App. 1977); Reed v. State,516 S.W.2d 680
(Tex. Crim. App. 1974). There is nothing in the record to indicate that appellant sought or obtained the permission of the trial court to pursue this appeal.981 S.W.2d 208Under 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,
(Tex. Crim. App.1998); Olivo v. State,918 S.W.2d 519
, 522-23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996). The appeal is dismissed.
