TEXAS COURT OF APPEALS, THIRD DISTRICT, AT AUSTIN

NO. 03-05-00720-CV

In re Timothy Joe Emerson

ORIGINAL HABEAS CORPUS PROCEEDING FROM TOM GREEN COUNTY

Timothy Joe Emerson filed a petition for writ of habeas corpus challenging the district court's order finding him in civil contempt and placing him on probation. Contempt orders that do not involve confinement cannot be reviewed by writ of habeas corpus. In re Long, 984 S.W.2d 623, 625 (Tex. 1999); Rosser v. Squier, 902 S.W.2d 962 (Tex. 1995). Accordingly, we dismiss the petition for writ of habeas corpus.
