TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                      NO. 03-08-00402-CR

                                Harold Newton King, Appellant

                                                v.

                                  The State of Texas, Appellee

    FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
       NO. D-1-DC-07-200435, HONORABLE JON N. WISSER, JUDGE PRESIDING

                            MEMORANDUM OPINION

               Harold Newton King seeks to appeal a judgment of conviction for assault with family

violence. Sentence was imposed on June 6, 2007. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline

for perfecting appeal was therefore July 6, 2007. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). King’s pro se notice

of appeal was filed on June 4, 2008. 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). If King is entitled to an out-of-time appeal, he must seek it by means of a

post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07

(West Supp. 2007). King’s motion for extension of time to file brief is dismissed.
              The appeal is dismissed.
