No. 10-10-00014-CR
 
Linda Lewis,
                                                                                    Appellant
 v.
 
The State of Texas,
                                                                                    Appellee
 
 

From the County Court at Law
Ellis County, Texas
Trial Court No. 0911957 CR
 

MEMORANDUM  Opinion

 
            Linda Lewis was found to be in
contempt of court and sentenced to 180 days in jail.  She appealed.  The Clerk
of this Court warned Lewis that the appeal was subject to dismissal because
there is no right of appeal from an order of contempt.  See Ex parte
Eureste, 725 S.W.2d, 214, 216 (Tex. Crim. App. 1986); Ex parte
Moorehouse, 614 S.W.2d 450, 451 (Tex. Crim. App. 1981); Hubbard v. State,
265 S.W.3d 434, 435 (Tex. App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2007, no pet.).  The Clerk
also warned Lewis that unless a response was filed showing grounds for
continuing the appeal, the appeal would be dismissed.
            Counsel for Lewis responded that Lewis
was pursuing a writ of habeas corpus and that a family member or friend had
filed the notice of appeal.  
            Accordingly, this appeal is dismissed.
