<STRONG>PER CURIAM</STRONG>

<P>On July 3, 1997, Victor Dean Adkins was convicted of aggravated sexual assault of
a child after pleading guilty.  Pursuant to a plea bargain agreement, the district court sentenced
Adkins to imprisonment for ten years.</P>

<P>On March 26, 2001, Adkins filed a pro se notice of appeal from the district court's
overruling of a motion to vacate the conviction.  It is far too late for Adkins to either request a new
trial from the district court or to appeal his conviction to this Court.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 21.4, 26.2. 
If he is entitled to relief, he must seek it by way of post-conviction habeas corpus.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. Code
Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2001).</P>

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>The appeal is dismissed for want of jurisdiction.</P>

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P>Before Chief Justice Aboussie, Justices Yeakel and Patterson</P>

<P>Dismissed for Want of Jurisdiction</P>
