CLARENCE DEE JOHNSON, Appellant

V.

CHARMION MILLIGAN, Appellee

On Appeal from the 257th District Court

Harris County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 2007-01535

M E M O R A N D U M   O P I N I O N

This is an attempted appeal from an order signed March 17, 2008.  The clerk=s record was filed on April 16, 2008.  The record before this court contains no appealable order.  The validity of a contempt judgment is not appealable and can be attacked only collaterally by writ of habeas corpus.  See Ex parte Williams, 690 S.W.2d 243, 243 n. 1 (Tex.1985).  See also McCoy v. McCoy, 908 S.W.2d 42 (Tex. App. B Houston [1st Dist.] 1995, no pet.).

On April 22, 2008, notification was transmitted to the parties of this court=s intention to dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction unless appellant filed a response demonstrating grounds for continuing the appeal on or before May 8, 2008.  See Tex. R. App. P. 42.3(a).

Appellant filed no response.  Accordingly, the appeal is ordered dismissed.

PER CURIAM

Judgment rendered and Memorandum Opinion filed May 29, 2008.

Panel consists of Justices Frost, Seymore, and Guzman.
