STEVEN AVILEZ, Appellant
V.
THE STATE OF TEXAS, Appellee
On Appeal from the 262nd District Court
Harris County, Texas
Trial Court Cause No. 1121804
MEMORANDUM OPINION
Appellant, Steven Avilez, attempts to appeal from the trial court's order of direct contempt. We dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
In the course of a felony trial, the trial court held appellant in contempt for giving non-responsive answers to the lawyers' questions, and ordered appellant confined for six months. Appellant filed a pro se notice of appeal.
Contempt orders are reviewable by application for habeas corpus relief, not by appeal. See Collins v. Kegans, 802 S.W.2d 702, 704 (Tex Crim. App. 1991); Alcevedo v. State, No. 13-05-726-CR, Tex. App. LEXIS 9793 (Tex. App.--Corpus Christi November 9, 2006, no pet.) (mem. op. not designated for publication).
We dismiss for want of jurisdiction.
PER CURIAM
Panel consists of Justices Nuchia, Jennings, and Keyes.
