WAYNE DOLCEFINO, Appellant v. THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from County Criminal Court at Law No. 16 Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 2316965
MEMORANDUM OPINION
This attempted appeal by appellant Wayne Dolcefino is brought from the trial court's June 20, 2020 judgment of contempt and sentence of confinement for six months and a $500 fine. The trial court suspended the imposition of the sentence and placed appellant on community supervision for six months including three days of confinement.
Appellant has filed a motion to dismiss this appeal because there is no right of appeal from an order of contempt. Appellant is correct. See Ex parte Eureste, 725 S.W.2d 214, 216 (Tex. Crim. App. 1986); see Joyner v. State, No. 14-11-00808-CR, 2011 WL 5554625, at *1 (Tex. App.—Houston [14th Dist.] Nov. 15, 2011, no pet.) (per curiam) (mem. op., not designated for publication) (dismissing appeal from judgment of contempt for lack of jurisdiction). We dismiss the appeal.
