in Re: Robert C. Lowry, M.D.

DENY; and Opinion Filed June 30, 2015.
S In The
Court of Appeals
Fifth District of Texas at Dallas
No. 05-15-00771-CV
IN RE ROBERT C. LOWRY, M.D., Relator
Original Proceeding from the 116th Judicial District Court
Dallas County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. DC-14-01187
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Before Justices Lang-Miers, Evans, and Whitehill
Opinion by Justice Lang-Miers
Relator filed this petition for writ of mandamus requesting the Court order the trial court
to set aside its orders finding relator in contempt of court and ordering him to pay attorney’s fees.
Contempt orders that do not involve confinement may be reviewed by a petition for writ of
mandamus. In re Long, 984 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. 1999) (orig. proceeding). In an original
proceeding challenging a contempt order, the relator has the burden to show that the order is
void. See In re Aslam, 348 S.W.3d 299, 302 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 2011, orig. proceeding)
(citing In re Coppock, 277 S.W.3d 417, 418 (Tex. 2009) (orig. proceeding)). We conclude
relator has failed to establish a right to mandamus relief. We deny the petition.
