PER CURIAM

<P>This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for engaging in organized criminal
activity.  Sentence was imposed on February 25, 1999.  There was a timely motion for new trial. 
The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore May 26, 1999.  <EM>See </EM>Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). 
Notice of appeal was filed on June 3, 1999.  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, 523 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).</P>
