MEMORANDUM OPINION
From the 57th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas
Trial Court No. 2010CI00328
Honorable Solomon Casseb, III, Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Karen Angelini, Justice Marialyn Barnard, Justice Rebeca C. Martinez, Justice DISMISSED FOR LACK OF JURISDICTION
Appellant appears to be appealing the trial court's January 5, 2017 order holding him in contempt. This court does not have jurisdiction to review contempt orders by direct appeal. See 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 is subject to confinement, or by a petition for a writ of mandamus, if the contemnor is not subject to confinement. See Rosser v. Squier, 902 S.W.2d 962, 962 (Tex. 1995); Ex parte Williams, 690 S.W.2d 243, 244 (Tex. 1985). Therefore, we ordered appellant to show cause in writing why this appeal should not be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Appellant failed to respond.
This appeal is dismissed for lack of jurisdiction.
