WAYNE GEROME TRAHAN, Appellant

V.

THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee



On Appeal from the 351st District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 895042



MEMORANDUM  OPINION
	We are without jurisdiction to entertain this appeal.  Appellant was
sentenced in this case on July 25, 2002.  No motion for new trial was filed.  The
deadline for filing notice of appeal was therefore Monday, August 26, 2002, because
the thirtieth day after sentencing fell on a weekend.  Tex. R. App. P. 4.1(a), 26.2(a)(1).
 Notice of appeal was deposited in the mail on September 6, 2002, according
to the postmark on the copy of the envelope included in the clerk's record.  Because
the notice of appeal was mailed after the filing deadline, it did not comply with Rule
9.2 of the Texas Rules of Appellate Procedure, the "mailbox rule."  See Tex. R. App.
P. 9.2(b).  Although the notice of appeal was filed within the 15-day time period for
filing a motion for extension of time to file notice of appeal, no such motion for
extension of time was filed.  See Tex. R. App. P. 26.3.
	We therefore dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction.  Slaton v. State, 981
S.W.2d 208, 209-10 (Tex. Crim. App. 1998); Olivo v. State, 918 S.W.2d 519, 522
(Tex. Crim. App. 1996).
	All pending motions are denied as moot.
	It is so ORDERED.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Jennings, and Radack.
Do not publish.  Tex. R. App. P. 47.
