IN THE INTEREST OF G.A., A CHILD
On Appeal from the 367th District Court Denton County, Texas1 Trial Court No. 17-1564-362, Honorable Brent Hill, Presiding
August 28, 2025 MEMORANDUM OPINION Before QUINN, C.J., and DOSS and YARBROUGH, JJ.
Appellant, Michael Anderson, appeals from an order of contempt issued by the trial
court. Appellant has also filed a petition for mandamus in No. 07-25-00221-CV, wherein
he asserts the same issues. Because we lack jurisdiction over direct appeals from
contempt orders, we dismiss.
We lack jurisdiction to review contempt orders by direct appeal. Such orders may
only be reviewed by petition for writ of habeas corpus or writ of mandamus. In re Janson,
1 This cause was originally filed in the Second Court of Appeals and was transferred to this Court
by a docket-equalization order of the Supreme Court of Texas. See TEX. GOV’T CODE ANN. § 73.001. In the event of any conflict, we apply the transferor court’s case law. TEX. R. APP. P. 41.3. 614 S.W.3d 724, 727 (Tex. 2020) (orig. proceeding) (“Because contempt orders are not
appealable, they are reviewable only by writ of mandamus or habeas corpus”).
We dismiss this appeal for want of jurisdiction.
Lawrence M. Doss Justice
