| Parties | Ex parte George Monroe SAVELLE, Jr. |
| Court | Texas Supreme Court |
George Monroe Savelle, pro se.
This is an original habeas corpus proceeding. Pursuant to an action brought by Billie Nell Smith, George Monroe Savelle, Jr., was adjudged on April 8, 1965, by order of the Court of Domestic Relations No. 2 in and for Harris County, Texas, to be in contempt of court for an alleged failure and refusal to make child support payments as ordered by said court in Cause No. 566,680. Savelle was assessed three days in jail with the provision that he might purge himself of such contempt by paying the sum of $300.00 as arrearage, attorney's fee and costs of court. The judgment of the court committing Savelle reads in part as follows:
The relator did not purge himself by paying the arrearage and court costs, but he had served the three-day commitment period at the time this court granted his petition for writ of habeas corpus. He is, therefore, under the clear provisions of the judgment of commitment, entitled to be released, and it is so ordered.
