OPINION

LEE GABRIEL, Justice.

In this appeal, we are asked to extend the sole-proximate-cause bar to legal-malpractice claims arising in the context of a contempt order entered in a civil case. We decline to do so and reverse the trial court's order granting Appellees a partial summary judgment and remand the case to the trial court for further proceedings.
