19 Tex. 227

Pierpont v. Pierpont

Opinion of the Court

Wheeler, J.

There is nothing in the objection taken to the service. It evidently appears by the affidavit what was intended. And it was understood and acted on by the officer. *228But the omission of the Court to make out a statement of facts is fatal to the judgment. That is a positive requirement of the Statute, which cannot be dispensed with. (Hart. Dig. Art. 782 ; McFadden v. Lockhart, 7 Tex. R. 573.) The judgment is reversed and the cause remanded.
