                      Raul Ramirez, Jr. a/k/a Rudolfo Torrez, Appellant

                                                 v.

                                  The State of Texas, Appellee



 FROM THE DISTRICT COURT OF WILLIAMSON COUNTY, 277TH JUDICIAL DISTRICT
        NO. 03-727-K277, HONORABLE KEN ANDERSON, JUDGE PRESIDING



                            MEMORANDUM OPINION


               Raul Ramirez seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for possession of a

controlled substance. Sentence was imposed on August 9, 2004. The pro se notice of appeal was

filed on September 1, 2005, long after the time for perfecting appeal expired. See Tex. Pen. Code

Ann. 26.2(a). Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeal in

any manner other than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction. See Slaton v. State, 981 S.W.2d 208

(Tex. Crim. App.1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522-23 (Tex. Crim. App. 1996).

               The appeal is dismissed.
