IN RE COPPOCK

No. 08-0093.

277 S.W.3d 417 (2009)

In re Gayle E. COPPOCK.

Supreme Court of Texas.

Decided February 13, 2009.


Attorney(s) appearing for the Case

William E. Trantham, Denton, TX, for relator.

Amie S. Peace, Coffey, Stout & Peace, L.L.P., Denton, TX, for real party in interest.

Benny Parkey, Denton, pro se.


Justice O'NEILL delivered the opinion of the Court.

To be enforceable by contempt, a judgment must clearly order or command a party to perform the obligations imposed and the terms for compliance must be clear and unequivocal. Because the judgment challenged in this proceeding lacks the necessary clarity, we grant the petition for writ of habeas corpus and set aside the order of contempt as void.
