Reynold M. Gardner v. State
    No. 34,133.
    December 13, 1961
    No attorney for appellant of record on appeal.
    
      Leon Douglas, State’s Attorney, Austin, for the state.
   DICE, Judge.

This is an attempted appeal by appellant from an order of the Judge of the District Court of Dallam County, adjudging him in contempt of court.

In this state there is no right to an appeal from an order of contempt. The only remedy to review such an order is by Writ of Habeas Corpus, when the relator is in custody. 12 Tex.

The appeal is accordingly dismissed.

Opinion approved by the Court.
