Description
This is a habeas corpus proceeding under section 22.221(d) of the Texas Government Code, by which relator Don Ray Durham seeks discharge from the custody of the sheriff of Dallas County, Texas. Relator was committed to jail by order of the 255th Judicial District Court which found him in contempt for failure to make child support payments as previously ordered by that court. We released relator on bail pending a hearing in this Court. We hold that the commitment order is void and, therefore, order relator unconditionally released from confinement. Relator and Annie Mae Durham were divorced on April 12, 1982. On March 7, 1984, relator was held in contempt for failure to pay child support. He was ordered to serve 30 days in county jail as punishment and to be confined thereafter until he paid a $2,969.00 arrearage plus attorney's fees. The commitment was suspended, however, on the conditions that relator continue to pay his regularly scheduled child support obligation of $85.00 per week plus $30.00 per week to be credit toward his arrearage and certain attorney's fees.
