Heading: Punitive Contempt

Text: Jordan argues that she cannot be punished for her appearance at the 5210 Oates Road location in violation of the temporary restraining order because that order is void. She argues the order is void because it does not require a separate bond as required by Tex.R.Civ.P. 684. We agree. Ex Parte Lesher, 651 S.W.2d 734 (Tex.1983). Because only one term of confinement was assessed for more than one act of contempt and at least one of those acts was not punishable by contempt, the entire judgment of punitive contempt is void. Ex Parte Davila, 718 S.W.2d 281 (Tex.1986); Ex Parte Lee, 704 S.W.2d 15 (Tex.1986).
