MEMORANDUM OPINION

BOB PEMBERTON, Justice.

Michael Douglas Nix seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for aggravated assault. Sentence was imposed on April 2, 2003. Nix's pro se notice of appeal was filed over one year later, on April 15, 2004, long after the time for perfecting appeal had expired. See Tex.R.App.P. 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.
