PER CURIAM

<P>This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for assault.  Sentence was imposed
on June 3, 1998.  There was a timely motion for new trial.  The deadline for perfecting appeal was
therefore September 1, 1998.  Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2).  Notice of appeal was filed on
September 4.  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>
