                                                v.

                                  The State of Texas, Appellee

         FROM THE COUNTY COURT AT LAW NO. 1 OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY
          NO. 05-1575-1, HONORABLE SUZANNE BROOKS, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Javier Jose Garza seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for driving while

license suspended. Sentence was imposed on April 19, 2005. There was no motion for new trial.

The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore May 19, 2005. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice

of appeal was mailed on May 23 and filed on May 25, 2005. No extension of time for filing notice

of appeal was requested. Tex. R. App. P. 26.3. 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.
