ALICE FAYE SUTTON, Appellee. MEMORANDUM OPINION PER CURIAM. Appellant appeals the trial court's order holding him in contempt for failing to pay child support. This court does not have jurisdiction to review contempt orders by direct appeal. Norman v. Norman, 692 S.W.2d 655, 655 (Tex. 1985). Contempt orders may only be reviewed by an application for a writ of habeas corpus, if the contemnor has been confined, or by a petition for a writ of mandamus, if the contemnor has not been confined. See Rosser v. Squier, 902 S.W.2d 962, 962 (Tex. 1995); Ex parte Williams, 690 S.W.2d 243, 243 (Tex. 1985). We ordered appellant to show cause why this appeal should not be dismissed for want of jurisdiction. Appellant has not responded to our order. The appeal is therefore dismissed for want of jurisdiction.
