O P I N I O N

            Bradford Filsinger appeals from an order granting a writ of habeas corpus.  He raises several
issues pertaining to the trial court’s subject matter jurisdiction of the child custody proceeding and
its authority to issue a writ of habeas corpus requiring the return of his son to his former wife, Meeri
Filsinger.  An order granting a writ of habeas corpus is not an appealable order.  Gray v. Rankin, 594
S.W.2d 409 (1980); Zeissig v. Zeissig, 600 S.W.2d 353, 357 (Tex.Civ.App.--Houston [1st Dist.]
1980, no writ).  We dismiss the appeal for want of jurisdiction.
