Custom-Crete, Inc. v. K-Bar Services, Inc.

OPINION

SANDEE BRYAN MARION, Justice.

In this appeal from a default judgment, a non-attorney corporate representative of appellant, Custom-Crete, Inc., filed a defective answer and attempted to represent Custom-Crete at a trial on the merits. On appeal, Custom-Crete asserts that its answer was sufficient to prevent a no-answer default judgment and the trial court erred in denying its motion for new trial because it did not receive forty-five days’ notice of the trial setting. We agree; therefore, we reverse the trial court’s judgment and remand the cause.
