MEMORANDUM OPINION

DAVID PURYEAR, Justice.

Arthur Johnson seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for burglary of a building. Sentence was imposed on February 27, 2004. Johnson filed his pro se notice of appeal on May 25, 2005, long after the time for perfecting appeal had expired. See Tex.R.App.P. 26.2(a). 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.
