____________

KENNETH WAYNE CONE, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee

On Appeal from the 184th District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 918214

MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	We are without jurisdiction to entertain this appeal.  Appellant was
sentenced in this case on July 19, 2002.  No motion for new trial was filed.  The
deadline for filing notice of appeal was therefore Monday, August 19, 2002, because
the thirtieth day after sentencing fell on a weekend.  Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1).
 Notice of appeal was deposited in the mail on August 23, 2002, according
to the postmark on the copy of the envelope included in the clerk's record.  Because
the notice of appeal was mailed after the filing deadline, it did not comply with Rule
9.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the "mailbox rule."  See Tex. R. App.
P. 9.2(b).  The notice of appeal was filed within the 15-day time period for filing a
motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal; however, no such motion for
extension of time was filed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.
	We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  Slaton v. State, 981
S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522
(Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
	It is so ORDERED.
