In civil practice, petitions for habeas corpus are uncommon but important when they arise – usually because of a contempt finding about compliance with an injunction or other court order. In re Huddleston reminds of an important procedural requirement: “To obtain habeas relief, the relator must provide proof that he is currently being restrained.” In that case, because “[t]e record includes no proof that relator was arrested or that relator remains confined or restrained,” the petition “does not provide the Court with the proof of current restraint required by [Tex. R. App. P.] 52 and should, therefore, be denied.” No. 05-18-01110-CV (Sept. 25, 2018) (mem. op). See generally In re: Daugherty, No. 05-17-001129-CV (June 19, 2018) (mem. op.) (reviewing sufficiency of evidence to support findings of injunction violations).
