Linda Lewis v. State ( 2010 )

IN THE
TENTH COURT OF APPEALS
No. 10-10-00014-CR
LINDA LEWIS,
Appellant
v.
THE STATE OF TEXAS,
Appellee
From the County Court at Law
Ellis County, Texas
Trial Court No. 0911957 CR
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Linda Lewis was found to be in contempt of court and sentenced to 180 days in
jail. She appealed. The Clerk of this Court warned Lewis that the appeal was subject to
dismissal because there is no right of appeal from an order of contempt. See Ex parte
Eureste, 725 S.W.2d, 214, 216 (Tex. Crim. App. 1986); Ex parte Moorehouse, 614 S.W.2d
450, 451 (Tex. Crim. App. 1981); Hubbard v. State, 265 S.W.3d 434, 435 (Tex. App.—
Houston [1st Dist.] 2007, no pet.). The Clerk also warned Lewis that unless a response
was filed showing grounds for continuing the appeal, the appeal would be dismissed.
Counsel for Lewis responded that Lewis was pursuing a writ of habeas corpus
and that a family member or friend had filed the notice of appeal.
Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
