PETITION FOR WRIT OF HABEAS CORPUS DENIED

           In his petition for writ of habeas corpus, Carlos M. Faz, Jr. contends he is being denied good

conduct and manual labor credits in relation to an order holding him in civil contempt. The Texas

Supreme Court has recognized that good time credits do not apply to coercive civil contempt orders.

Ex parte Acly, 711 S.W.2d 627, 628 (Tex. 1986); see also In re Parks, 264 S.W.3d 59, 61 n.1 (Tex.

App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 2007, orig. proceeding); Ex parte Harrison, 741 S.W.2d 607, 609 (Tex.

App.—Austin 1987, orig. proceeding) (rejecting equal protection argument). Accordingly, Faz’s

petition for writ of habeas corpus is denied.

                                                             PER CURIAM
