TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-98-00381-CR

James Kellough, Appellant

v.

The State of Texas, Appellee

FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 299TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT

NO. 0974657, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING

PER CURIAM

This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated robbery.  Sentence was
imposed on May 7, 1998.  There was no motion for new trial.  The deadline for perfecting appeal was
therefore June 8, 1998.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1).  Notice of appeal was filed on June 10, 1998.  No
extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.  There is no indication
that notice of appeal was properly mailed to the district clerk within the time prescribed by rule 26.2(a). 
Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b).  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 Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519,
523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).  But see Williams v. State, 957 S.W.2d 949 (Tex. App.--Austin 1997,
no pet.) (asking that Olivo be reexamined).

The appeal is dismissed.
