TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

                                          NO. 03-04-00329-CR

                                   Anthony Lee Gardner, Appellant

                                                     v.

                                     The State of Texas, Appellee

         FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF TRAVIS COUNTY, 147TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
             NO. 0001942, HONORABLE WILFORD FLOWERS, JUDGE PRESIDING

                               MEMORANDUM OPINION

                On October 31, 2000, Anthony Lee Gardner was sentenced to fifteen years in prison for

sexually assaulting a child. On March 22, 2004, Gardner filed a motion for out of time appeal in the district

court. See Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a). The court overruled the motion and the record was forwarded to this

Court. The court certified that this is a plea bargain case and Gardner has no right of appeal. See Tex. R.

App. P. 25.2(d).

                Because the notice of appeal was not timely, 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.

                                              __________________________________________
