ANDRADE, Appellee From the 131st Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas Trial Court No. 2004-CI-13796 Honorable John D. Gabriel, Jr., Judge Presiding PER CURIAM Sitting: Catherine Stone, Justice Karen Angelini, Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Delivered and Filed: December 10, 2008 DISMISSED FOR WANT OF JURISDICTION Appellant appeals the trial court s order holding her in contempt for failing to comply with an order of the court. This court does not have jurisdiction to review contempt orders by direct appeal. Norman v. Norman, 692 S.W.2d 655, 655 (Tex. 1985). Contempt orders may be reviewed only by an application for a writ of habeas corpus, if the contemnor has been confined, or by a petition for a writ of mandamus, if the contemnor has not been confined. See Rosser v. Squier, 902 S.W.2d 962, 962 (Tex. 1995); Ex parte Williams, 690 S.W.2d 243, 243 (Tex. 1985). 04-08-00616-CV We ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. On November 7, 2008, appellant filed a written response. Appellant s response, however, offers no basis for this court to exercise jurisdiction over this appeal. The appeal is therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction. PER CURIAM DO NOT PUBLISH -2-
