Does anyone know if a County Judge can find a commissioner in direct contempt for cursing at another commission during a called meeting? Further, does the finding have to be immediate or can some time lapse? Any advice is appreciated.

Sec. 81.023. CONTEMPT. The commissioners court shall punish a person held in contempt by a fine of not more than $25 or by confinement for not more than 24 hours. A person fined under this section may be confined until the fine is paid.
