PER CURIAM

<BR WP="BR1"><BR WP="BR2">
<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">Adolfo Aguilar seeks an out-of-time appeal from a judgment of conviction for theft. 
According to his motion and supporting documents, appellant tendered his pro se notice of appeal over one
year and nine months after sentence was imposed.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">Without a timely filed notice of appeal, this Court is without jurisdiction.  <EM>Rodarte v. State</EM>,
860 S.W.2d 108 (Tex. Crim. App. 1993); <EM>Shute v. State</EM>, 744 S.W.2d 96 (Tex. Crim. App. 1988).  We
lack authority to dispose of the purported appeal in any manner other than by dismissing it for want of
jurisdiction.  <EM>Olivo v. State</EM>, 918 S.W.2d 519, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).  Appellant must await this
Court's mandate of dismissal, after which he may file a post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus
seeking an out-of-time appeal.  Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07, § 2 (West Supp. 1997).</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">Appellant's motion for out-of-time appeal is dismissed.  The appeal is dismissed.</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">Before Chief Justice Carroll, Justices Aboussie and B. A. Smith</SPAN></P>
