IN THE INTEREST OF L.L.B., a Child
From the County Court at Law, Medina County, Texas Trial Court No. 20-03-7912-CCL Honorable Mark Cashion, Judge Presiding
ORDER
Liza A. Rodriguez, Justice
On May 10, 2023, the trial court signed an "Order of Enforcement by Contempt and Suspension of Commitment." Appellant appears to be appealing this order. This court does not have jurisdiction to review contempt orders by appeal. Norman v. Norman, 692 S.W.2d 655, 655 (Tex. 1985). Contempt orders may only be reviewed by an application for a writ of habeas corpus, if the contemnor has been confined, or by a petition for a writ of mandamus, if the contemnor has not been confined. See Rosser v. Squier, 902 S.W.2d 962, 962 (Tex. 1995); Ex parte Williams, 690 S.W.2d 243, 243 (Tex. 1985).
We, therefore, ORDER appellant to show cause in writing by September 8, 2023, why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. We suspend all appellate deadlines pending our determination of whether we have jurisdiction over this appeal.
