Daugherty v. Powell
Court of Civil Appeals of Texas · Decided June 3, 1911 · Speer
139 S.W. 625; 1911 Tex. App. LEXIS 1201 (South Western Reporter)

Daugherty v. Powell

Opinion of the Court

SPEER, J.

This is an appeal by B. F. Daugherty, defendant below, from a default judgment taken in the district court of Lubbock county. The record contains no citation to the defendant, failing in which it does not show that the trial court had jurisdiction to render any judgment whatever against him. The recitation in the judgment that the defendant had been duly cited does not help the case. Glasscock v. Barnard, 125 S. W. 615, and authorities there cited.

For this error, the judgment is reversed, and the cause remanded.
