MEMORANDUM OPINION
Harold Newton King seeks to appeal a judgment of conviction for assault with family violence. Sentence was imposed on June 6, 2007. There was no motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore July 6, 2007. Tex. R. App. P. 26.2(a)(1). King's pro se notice of appeal was filed on June 4, 2008. 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). If King is entitled to an out-of-time appeal, he must seek it by means of a post-conviction application for writ of habeas corpus. See Tex. Code Crim. Proc. Ann. art. 11.07 (West Supp. 2007). King's motion for extension of time to file brief is dismissed. The appeal is dismissed.
