IN THE INTEREST OF R.B.P.M., CHILD


On Appeal from the 303rd Judicial District Court Dallas County, Texas Trial Court Cause No. DF-19-23225

Before Justices Nowell, Goldstein, and Breedlove

MEMORANDUM OPINION

BONNIE LEE GOLDSTEIN JUSTICE

This appeal challenges the trial court's order holding appellant in contempt for failure to pay child support. Because a contempt order is reviewable by petition for writ of mandamus or habeas corpus rather than direct appeal, we questioned our jurisdiction over this appeal and directed appellant to file a letter brief addressing our concern. See In re Martin, 523 S.W.3d 165, 169 (Tex. App.-Dallas 2017, orig. proceeding).

Although appellant filed a brief, he fails to show how we have appellate jurisdiction over the contempt order. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal and all pending motions. See id.; see also Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

JUDGMENT

In accordance with this Court's opinion of this date, we DISMISS the appeal.
