NO. 84-409-K, HONORABLE WILLIAM S. LOTT, JUDGE PRESIDING

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

	Charles R. Branch seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for delivery
of a controlled substance.  Sentence was imposed on May 2, 2006.  There was a timely motion for
new trial.  The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore July 31, 2006.  Tex. R. App. P.
26.2(a)(2).  Notice of appeal was filed on September 25, 2006.  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.
