The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 368TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. 99-706-K368, HONORABLE BURT CARNES, JUDGE PRESIDING Ventura Flores, Jr., seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for engaging in organized crime and possession of marihuana. Sentence was imposed on June 19, 2000. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore July 19, 2000. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on September 6, 2002, over two years late. 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). Appellant may seek relief by post-conviction habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2002). The appeal is dismissed. __________________________________________ David Puryear, Justice Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices Patterson and Puryear Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction Filed: September 19, 2002 Do Not Publish 2
