PER CURIAM</strong>

<p>This is an appeal from a judgment of conviction for driving while intoxicated. 
Sentence was imposed on October 24, 2000.  There was a timely motion for new trial.  The
deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore January 22, 2001.  <em>See </em>Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(2). 
Notice of appeal was filed on January 26.  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).
