Texas Supreme Court
Ex Parte Aubrey Jerald Gordon
April 4, 197922 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 295
Summary
The Texas Supreme Court granted the relator’s habeas corpus petition, holding that the contempt order was void because he was not given proper notice of the charge. The Court required that constructive contempt judgments be based on a show‑cause order that fully and unambiguously states the alleged violation.
