OPINION

2Per curiam

The relator, Leroy Robertson, complains of a trial court order holding him in contempt for failure to pay child support and committing him to custody. The order was signed on March 8,1994, after an earlier evidentiary hearing. The order implicates both civil and criminal contempt. See Ex parte Papageorgiou, 685 S.W.2d 776, 778 (Tex.App.—Houston [1st Dist.] 1985, orig. proceeding). The order states that the relator, as “punishment” for his separate violations of the child support order, “is assessed ... confinement in the county jail ... for ... 40 days in the Harris County jail ...”…
