- Every indirect-contempt appeal automatically stays execution without conditions.
- The judgment is appealable as provided, but execution is not suspended until the prescribed court-fixed bond is filed.
- Indirect contempt can never be appealed.
- A private promise always replaces the bond.
- Only a new unrelated lawsuit can permit review.
