MEMORANDUM OPINION
Jack Patton seeks to appeal from a judgment of conviction for official misconduct. Sentence was imposed on August 28, 2003. There was a timely motion for new trial. The deadline for perfecting appeal was therefore November 26, 2003. Tex.R.App.P. 26.2(a)(2). Notice of appeal was filed on December 8, 2003. No extension of time for filing notice of appeal was requested, as required in criminal cases. Tex.R.App.P. 26.3; 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); Pickens v. State, 105 S.W.3d 746, 748 n. 2 (Tex. App.-Austin 2003, no pet.). Under the circumstances, we lack jurisdiction to dispose of the purported appeal in any manner other than by dismissing it for want of jurisdiction. The appeal is dismissed.
