                                          NO. 03-03-00083-CR

                                     Ex parte Celeste Marie Beard

         FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 390TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
             NO. 5020394, HONORABLE JULIE H. KOCUREK, JUDGE PRESIDING

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION

                 Celeste Marie Beard seeks to appeal from an order in a habeas corpus proceeding

regarding pretrial bail. The order was entered and signed on November 27, 2002. The deadline for

perfecting appeal was therefore December 27, 2002. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was

filed on December 31, 2002. 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

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.

                                             __________________________________________
