PER CURIAM

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for burglary of a habitation. 
Sentence was imposed on April 6, 2000.  There was no motion for new trial.  The deadline for
perfecting appeal was therefore May 8, 2000.  <EM>See </EM>Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1).  Notice
of appeal was filed on May 10.  No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. 
<EM>See </EM>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).  <EM>See </EM>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 Slaton v. State</EM>, 981 S.W.2d 208 (Tex. Crim. App.
1998); <EM>Olivo v. State</EM>, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522-23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).</SPAN></P>
