Ex Parte Deborah Brister, Relator

Summary

The Texas Supreme Court held that the divorce decree's visitation provisions were not clear and unambiguous enough to be enforced by contempt, rendering the contempt judgment void and granting the writ of habeas corpus to discharge the relator. A dissent argued the decree was clear and the contempt judgment should stand, while a concurrence agreed with the result but emphasized the need for specific notice in contempt motions.
