Texas Supreme Court September 8, 1994, 94-0154 (Ex Parte Roosth)

PER CURIAM.

The trial court found relator in contempt for failure to pay child support and sentenced him to 180 days in the Harris County jail. Although the sentence was punitive rather than coercive, the trial court did not require proof beyond a reasonable doubt of relator’s ability to make the support payments. The commitment order also purported to deny relator credit for good behavior.
