Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.09 (West 1977). On November 28, 2000, the county court at law dismissed the application. Rutherford gave notice of appeal from this order on July 5, 2001. The notice of appeal was not timely. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a). 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.
