MEMORANDUM OPINION
Jose Alexis Rivera seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for credit card abuse. Sentence was imposed on August 22, 2006. Without a timely motion for new trial, the deadline for perfecting appeal was September 21. Tex.R.App.P. 26.2(a)(1). Notice of appeal was filed on September 25. No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested. 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). 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. 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.
