PER CURIAM

<P>This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for possession of cocaine.  Sentence was
imposed on January 29, 1998.  There was a timely motion for new trial.  The deadline for perfecting appeal
was therefore April 29, 1998.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2).  Notice of appeal was filed on April 30.  No
extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.  There is no indication
that notice of appeal was properly mailed to the district clerk within the time prescribed by rule 26.2(a). 
Tex. R. App. P. 9.2(b).  Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeal
in any manner other than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction.  <EM>See Olivo v. State</EM>, 918 S.W.2d 519,
523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).  <EM>But see Williams v. State</EM>, 957 S.W.2d 949 (Tex. App.--Austin 1997,
no pet.) (asking that <EM>Olivo</EM> be reexamined).</P>

<P>The appeal is dismissed.</P>
