Villarreal v. SAN ANTONIO TRUCK & EQUIPMENT, INC.
Texas Court of Appeals, 4th District (San Antonio)
1Opinion of the Court
STONE, Justice.
This case addresses the adequacy of the dismissal docket notice used in Bexar County. Martin Villarreal appeals from an order dismissing his lawsuit for want of prosecution. In his sole point of error, Villarreal argues that the trial court abused its discretion in dismissing his cause for lack of prosecution because the court’s dismissal notice indicated only the court’s intent to dismiss for failure to appeal’ at the dismissal hearing. Because we find that the notice adequately apprised Villarreal of the nature of the proceeding, we affirm.
