INJUNCTIONS
We agree with Gayle that the injunctive provision in issue is less than clear, as what constitutes
“coarse or offensive” communication, especially between warring spouses, is largely in the eye of
the beholder. However, because the judgment lacks a critical component necessary to invoke the
court’s contempt power, we do not reach Gayle’s constitutional challenges. See In re B.L.D., 113 S.
W.3d 340, 349 (Tex. 2003) (“As a rule, we only decide constitutional questions when we cannot
resolve issues on nonconstitutional grounds.”); Bradley v. State ex rel. White, 990 S.W.2d 245, 247
(Tex. 1999) (same).[1] In re Coppock, No. 08-0093 (Tex. 2009)(O'Neill) (contempt in divorce case
overturned by habeas corpus)
