Submitted: November 15, 2005.
Decided: November 16, 2005.
On Appeal from the 5th Judicial District Court, Bowie County, Texas, Trial Court No. D-5-CV-93-1350.
Before MORRISS, C.J., ROSS and CARTER, JJ.
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Vickie Donnelly, has presented this Court with a notice of appeal in this matter. Donnelly seeks to appeal the trial court's order which held her in contempt. In Texas, there is no appeal from an order holding a party in contempt. Ex parte Williams, 690 S.W.2d 243, 243 n. 1 (Tex. 1985); In re A.C.J., 146 S.W.3d 323, 326 (Tex.App.-Beaumont 2004, no pet.); In re T.L.K., 90 S.W.3d 833, 841 (Tex.App.-San Antonio 2002, no pet.); In re M.E.G., 48 S.W.3d 204, 209 (Tex.App.-Corpus Christi 2000, no pet.). This is true even where the contempt order is appealed along with a judgment that is appealable. M.E.G., 48 S.W.3d at 209.
Donnelly was instructed on October 18, 2005, to establish this Court's jurisdiction in this matter on or before October 28, 2005. As of this date, Donnelly has made no effort to answer this Court's directive. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for lack of jurisdiction.
