Texas Industries, Inc. v. Sanchez, 525 S.W.2d 870 (Tex. 1975)
18 Tex. Sup. Ct. J. 442; 1975 Tex. LEXIS 231
Per Curiam

Texas Industries, Inc. v. Sanchez

Opinion

PER CURIAM.

This is an appeal from a Bill of Review judgment setting aside a default judgment against the defendant and rendering a judgment that plaintiff take nothing. The court of civil appeals affirmed. 521 S.W.2d 133. In denying the application for writ of error, no reversible error, we specifically approve the holding of the court of civil appeals that proof of defendant not having been served with citation obviates the necessity of pleading and proving the second Hagedorn requirement: that the defendant was “prevented from making [his meritorious defense] by fraud, accident, or wrongful act of the opposite party . . . .” 1 See Petro-Chemical Transport, Inc. v. Carroll, 514 S.W.2d 240, 243-244 (Tex. 1974) and Hanks v. Rosser, 378 S.W.2d 31 (Tex. 1964).
