Original Proceeding

OPINION

The trial court found relator, Jonathan Leon Skero, in contempt of court and committed him to jail for thirty days. Among other orders relating to the protection of the physical safety of Skero’s family members, the underlying family violence protective order found that family violence had occurred, gave Skero sixty days to file an affidavit stating he had started counseling, and ordered Skero to pay $1,750 to the attorney for the applicant. The contempt order finds Skero violated a family violence protective order by failing to file with the court an affidavit stating he started anger management counseling and by failing and refusing to pay attorney’s fees. In this habeas corpus proceeding, relator complains he is imprisoned for nonpayment of a debt in violation of the Texas Constitution. See Tex. Const. art. I, § 18. We deny the petition for writ of habeas corpus.
