*435 OPINION
PER CURIAM.
Appellant, Ryan Michael Hubbard, attempts to appeal from a July 3, 2007 Judgment of Contempt and Commitment Order, sentencing him to 180 days in jail for violating a "no contact" bail condition. Appellant has filed a notice of appeal "from the judgment of Contempt of Court. . . ." It is well established that there is no right of appeal from an order of contempt. Ex parte Moorehouse, 614 S.W.2d 450, 451 (Tex.Crim.App.1981). Rather, "the normal course of any review of a contempt order regarding criminal law matters is by an application for writ of habeas corpus filed in [the Court of Criminal Appeals]." Id. (internal quotations omitted). Thus, our court lacks jurisdiction over this appeal. Accordingly, we dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction. Id. at 452.
