EX PARTE MITCHELL

No. 9047.

628 S.W.2d 499 (1982)

Ex parte Clyde J. MITCHELL.

Court of Appeals of Texas, Texarkana.

February 2, 1982.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Donald W. Dowd, Lovelace & Thompson, Atlanta, for appellant.

Patricia Florence, Florence, Florence & Woodson, Hughes Springs, for appellee.

PER CURIAM.

Clyde Mitchell instituted an original Habeas Corpus Proceeding in which he seeks release from a contempt commitment issued by the court in his divorce case. The issue before us is whether the order holding Mitchell in contempt is void. We hold that it is and order Mitchell discharged.

In order for Clyde Mitchell to be entitled to relief from a contempt commitment, he must show that the commitment, or the order on which it is based, is void.
