PER CURIAM

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">Edward Lewis seeks to appeal from a conviction for aggravated robbery.  Sentence
was imposed on July 16, 1998.  There was no motion for new trial.  The deadline for perfecting
appeal was therefore July 17, 1998.  <EM>See </EM>Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1).  On July 2, 1999, Lewis
filed in this Court a motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal.  The motion states that
notice of appeal was filed on July 1, 1999.  Both the notice of appeal and motion for extension of
time are untimely.  <EM>See</EM> Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.  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).</SPAN></P>

<P><SPAN STYLE="font-family: CG Times Regular">The untimely motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal is overruled.  The
appeal is dismissed.</SPAN></P>
