------------

Twyna 
Lynn Shields, a/k/a Twyna Lynn McGinnis, a/k/a Twyna Collins McGinnis is 
attempting to appeal her conviction and sentence for possession of a controlled 
substance.  Appellant=s 
sentence was imposed on July 28, 2005, and no motion for new trial was 
filed.  Therefore, 
appellant=s 
notice of appeal was due August 29, 2005;[2] 
however, the notice of appeal was not filed until October 31, 
2005.
Because 
appellant=s 
notice of appeal was not timely filed, we lack jurisdiction over the appeal.[3]  Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for 
want of jurisdiction.
