Appeal from the 194th Judicial District Court, Dallas County, Texas, Trial Court Cause No. F00-00620-M. Dismiss.

Before Justices MORRIS, WRIGHT, and MOSELEY.


MEMORANDUM OPINION


Catherine Shelton filed a notice of appeal from the trial court's final judgment of contempt entered pursuant to section 21.002 of the Texas Government Code. There is no right of appeal from a judgment of contempt. See Ex parte Eureste, 725 S.W.2d 214, 216 (Tex.Crim.App. 1986). "The proper course of review from a contempt order entered in a district court is by original application for writ of habeas corpus." Id. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
