MEMORANDUM OPINION

No. 04-10-00300-CV

IN RE Carlos M. FAZ, Jr.

Original Proceeding

PER CURIAM

Sitting:            Catherine Stone, Chief Justice

Sandee Bryan Marion, Justice

Steven C. Hilbig, Justice

Delivered and Filed: April 28, 2010 

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.
