Supreme Court of Texas.

February 11, 1987.

Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

Samuel L. Walsh, The Woodlands, for relator.

Jimmy James (Law Offices of Jimmy James), Houston, for respondent.

PER CURIAM.

This is a child support habeas corpus proceeding. Roy Clifton Strickland was found in contempt for failure to pay court-ordered child support, and incarcerated without either a written judgment of contempt or a written order of commitment. Due process requires both a written judgment of contempt and a written order of commitment in order to punish a person for constructive contempt of court. Ex parte Barnett, 600 S.W.2d 252
