TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN NO. 03-06-00108-CR Kenneth Walker, Appellant v. The State of Texas, Appellee FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT NO. D-1-DC-05-904189, HONORABLE JON WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING MEMORANDUM OPINION Kenneth Walker seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for theft. Sentence was imposed on December 21, 2005. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore January 20, 2006. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Walker mailed his pro se notice of appeal to the district clerk in an envelope postmarked January 26, 2006, and the notice was filed on January 30. See Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b). No extension of time for filing was requested. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. Because the notice of appeal was not timely, 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. __________________________________________ W.
