IN RE Carlos M. FAZ, Jr.
Original Proceeding1
PER CURIAM
Sitting: Catherine Stone, Chief Justice Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice Steven C. Hilbig, Justice
Delivered and Filed: April 28, 2010
PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS DENIED
In his petition for writ of habeas corpus, Carlos M. Faz, Jr. contends he is being denied good
conduct and manual labor credits in relation to an order holding him in civil contempt. The Texas
Supreme Court has recognized that good time credits do not apply to coercive civil contempt orders.
Ex parte Acly, 711 S.W.2d 627, 628 (Tex. 1986); see also In re Parks, 264 S.W.3d 59, 61 n.1 (Tex.
App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2007, orig. proceeding); Ex parte Harrison, 741 S.W.2d 607, 609 (Tex.
App.—Austin 1987, orig. proceeding) (rejecting equal protection argument). Accordingly, Faz’s
petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied.
1 … This proceeding arises out of Cause No. 2000EM 502489, styled In re S.N.F.,et al., pending in the 45th Judicial District Court, Bexar County, Texas, Associate Judge Delia Carian, presiding.
