On March 29, 2024, relator filed a petition for writ of mandamus, asserting the trial court abused its discretion when it held him in contempt of court for failing to pay contractual spousal maintenance.

Aguilar guilty of forty-eight (48) acts of contempt for failure to pay contractual spousal maintenance. The writ will issue only if the trial court fails to vacate this order within fifteen days from the date of our opinion and order.
It is so ORDERED on January 22, 2025.
