                                 Michael Douglas Nix, Appellant


                                                  v.


                                   The State of Texas, Appellee




      FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF BELL COUNTY, 264TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
            NO. 53767, HONORABLE JOE CARROLL, JUDGE PRESIDING



                             MEMORANDUM OPINION


               Michael Douglas Nix seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated

assault. Sentence was imposed on April 2, 2003. Nix’s pro se notice of appeal was filed over one

year later, on April 15, 2004, long after the time for perfecting appeal had expired. See Tex. R. App.

P. 26.2(a). 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.
