MEMORANDUM OPINION
Marc Christopher Harvel attempted to appeal an order of contempt issued by the district court on January 10, 2008, for his failure to make court-ordered payments of child support. Appellate courts generally do not have jurisdiction to review contempt orders by direct appeal. Ex parte Cardwell, 416 S.W.2d 382, 384 (Tex. 1967); In re R.M., 224 S.W.3d 721, 721 (Tex.App.-El Paso 2006, no pet.) (citing Wagner v. Warnasch, 295 S.W.2d 890, 893 (Tex. 1956)).
On June 18, 2008, this Court requested that Harvel file a written response demonstrating this Court's jurisdiction over his appeal. His filed response failed to demonstrate this Court's jurisdiction. Accordingly, we dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction. See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).
