Texas Court of Appeals, 5th District (Dallas)
Decided September 14, 1982No. 05-81-00521-CVPublishedCited by 36 opinions
1Opinion of the Court
STEPHENS, Justice.
By writ of error Wade T. Verges challenges the validity of a default judgment rendered against him in favor of Lomas & Nettleton Financial Corporation. He contends that he was denied due process because the manner of substituted service was not reasonably calculated to give him actual notice of the litigation. Secondly, he alleges that Lomas & Nettleton failed to strictly comply with the requirements of the Texas long-arm statute. We agree that appellee did not strictly comply with the statute. Consequently, we reverse and remand.
